8 - Primary Industry

For the training program here they showed me a lot of the basic mining procedures and the operation of equipment, what to do in emergencies, and how to work underground. A lot of that was new to me.

I started August and I didn't go underground till September, so there was a lot of training before I could work underground.

I'm continuously learning on the job because this is entry level. I learn best if I watch someone do it, then they can tell me. A lot of people are very nice around here; they will help you, if you need help.
