PotashCorp Teams Finish on Top in Mine Rescue Competition
For the fourth straight year, PotashCorp Patience Lake has won the Surface Division of the Saskatchewan Emergency Response/Mine Rescue Skills Competition.
This is the 10th time in 13 years that Patience Lake has won this category.
PotashCorp Lanigan was runner-up this year in the underground division. Lanigan also has a history of success in the competition; it took the underground title in 2016 and 2015 and was runner-up in 2014.
A total of 15 teams competed in 2017: nine in the underground division and six in surface. Teams are tested in five areas: Fire Fighting, First Aid, Proficiency Skills (which includes a written exam), Practical Skills and response to simulated Surface and Underground Mine Problems.
