The Occupational Health and Safety Act states that anyone working on a Surface Mining Site (outside of performing the task of a surface miner) must have adequate training. Although Surface Miner Common Core training is designed to address the needs of those working with equipment as part of normal operations, workers who are visiting the sites or performing other tasks must also be aware of on-site hazards.
Regulation 854 (Regulations for Mines and Mining Plants) requires that employers provide training for all workers at surface mines, which Intola Safety proudly offers.

roles and responsibilities of employers, supervisors and workers
inspecting the workplace for hazardous and/or potentially hazardous conditions
