Competition to sharpen mine rescue teams' skills


The Surface Mine Emergency Response Competition involves qualified mine rescue teams from mine sites across Western Australia competing against each other in theory and practical tests.

The public are encouraged to attend the weekend's events at the Mining Hall of Fame.

The chamber's Matthew Payne says although the competition is held in a festive atmosphere, competitors take the event very seriously.

"Well its principal objective is to be a training and learning exercise for mine rescue teams so they can have their skills sharpened and honed so in the event they do face a real life emergency they're capable of meeting it," he said.

"That's certainly the most important objective of this weekend."
