The scenarios were designed to prepare mining teams for real-life events, and cross-train the organization’s leading emergency-responders.
(1888PressRelease) July 11, 2020 - Pro Asian Gold (ISIN: CN3475392059), a leading, growth-focussed gold mining company that is consistently generating superior returns, dedicated to delivering on its values and promises, and always focused on improving its environmental, social and governance performance, today announced that it will organize a training that will be a part of the Company’s Emergency Response Summit, a three-day event during which emergency response team members from Pro Asian Gold operations will participate in a series of rigorous emergency-response training exercises.
Pro Asian Gold safety and rescue teams came together for the Emergency Response Summit. Teams engaged in various safety and rescue scenarios, including firefighting drills.
“Being prepared for an emergency event is a core element of the Pro Asian Gold Safety Management System. It is important that our emergency response teams receive the proper training, practice what they have learned, and develop emergency response plans based on their site risks,” says Hui Manshi, Vice President of Health, Safety and Environment at Pro Asian Gold.
Over the course of the three days, about 30 participants in total engaged in emergency-response simulations, including a structural collapse, search and extraction, hazmat response, high-angle rope rescue, and firefighting drills. With so many different countries represented at the Summit, communication barriers could have been an issue. But skilled translators worked with crews to ensure accurate communication at all times.
“Practicing rescue efforts prepares us for unforeseen events, and by working with our fellow rescuers we learn the names of certain rescue tools and techniques. It helps us all work together while setting exceptionally high safety standards regardless of where we operate in the world,” says William Jian, Senior Vice President, Operations Services and Development.
