8 - Primary Industry

I work in cramped spaces, doing a lot of bending, kneeling. Eighty percent of the time we're sitting, but then the other 20 percent of the time we could be the hardest working guys in the mine. It's a very unique job.

I work around piping, waterlines and vent tubing, which, along with high-velocity fans, is the system used to distribute fresh air from surface. There are lots of old chains and screen hanging down. When we're working around wires we have to lock things out to make sure no one gets electrocuted.
