Les compétitions de sauvetage minier

The mining sector also has its Olympics, with the International Mine Rescue Competitions, which have been running for twenty years. Here's a glimpse into the world of mine safety at work at the latest competition, held in Sudbury, Canada. Over 20 nations took part, with 30 teams competing in six event categories including underground rescue simulation, first aid, fire-fighting and rope rescue. For miners, these events are unique opportunities to meet their peers and improve their rescue skills by learning about various practices.
