43 Years spent in every aspect of open pit mining. The last 15 years were spent establishing Health and Safety programs, training departments, bringing companies into compliance both in Health and Safety but in Environmental.
My accomplishments have been in Kazakhstan where After the president of Kazakhstan stated that accidents in mining were unavoidable, the mine under my guidance managed to go 800,000 hours with out a lost time. This during start up and operators never having used western style mining equipment.
in Canada, brought a contractor into total compliance at two separate mine sites again both in Health and Safety, Training, and Environmental.
