7.3 Team Member Safety <br />Operating areas of the mine are subject to the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") <br />regulations and practices. MSHA requires mining companies to comply with the comprehensive law <br />governing the health and safety of employees. In addition to MSHA regulations and inspections, <br />CC&V has a Safety Department that provides safety and training courses to employees. This <br />department also has the responsibility for the day-to-day inspection and correction of worker <br />performance. Prior to an employee performing assigned duties, the person is trained to understand <br />safety measures. In emergency situations, the rescuer can become a victim because the proper <br />precautions have not been taken before attempting a rescue. With adequate training and knowledge <br />of safety measures, most accidents can 6e avoided. <br />The Safety Department conducts training for appropriate individuals concerning safe handling, clean <br />up, and emergency medical treatment for the various materials used at the project. New employees <br />are instructed upon hiring. Periodic refresher courses are given. <br />In case of a medical emergency, Team Members are trained to announce a "Code 90" on the mine <br />radio. The Safety Department, supervisors, and the Mine Rescue Team are trained in appropriate <br />response procedures. <br />45 <br />
