Learning And Teaching Comprehensive training at all employee levels is one of the most important and effective tools for maintaining high standards of safety and health and focusing on environmental stewardship. Our safety, health and environmental staff attend national and regional seminars and conferences. They also organize and present training sessions to audiences within the Company and the industry. Operations employees attend monthly safety meetings, special sessions and outside events.

We regularly review and update training materials. Annual refresher courses and task training topics cover product quality, safe and healthy work practices, and sound environmental actions. Since 1996 we have established special training programs in off-road haul truck safety, hazard recognition skills and miner orientation. We are developing specialized education and best management practices for hazard recognition during plant construction and maintenance, since the largest numbers of workplace injuries are associated with these activities.
