Our instructors for the new miner M.S.H.A. training have taught us about many procedures and practices to ensure the health and safety of miners while on the job. We have learned about, among other things, hazard communication, safe vehicle operation, and proper PPE selection. Even though we have learned many details of practices to stay safe on the job, the knowledge from the past two days of training that will stick with me most is this; it is your responsibility to keep yourself safe. There are a surprisingly small amount of accidents compared to 30 years ago, but it can still get much better. And, last but not least, someone who fears a particular object, space, task, or procedure is much less likely to be injured by it. Long story short, whenever you are working in dangerous situations, keep a clear, alert mind and you are much less likely to get yourself or others injured.
