Jaguar Operations has embarked on improving Emergency
Response Capabilities across the mine site. The BG4 Closed
Circuit Rebreather course is run over a five-day period
and is conducted by our Emergency Response Team (ERT)
Coordinator required to work in both on the surface and in
the underground environments.
As part of the program our ERT members are required to
dismantle and reassemble the BG4 breathing apparatus
with restricted visibility i.e. in the dark. They are also
required to conduct robust fitness testing comprising of
cardio exercises and stamina assessment to prepare them
for the very strenuous task requirements of conducting
rescue operations.
The classes eventually culminate in a mock Emergency
Exercise designed to test each of the learning outcomes. It
is also designed to test each candidate to their full capacity
and ensure they are fully prepared for any situation that
may require the use of this vital equipment when rescuing
an injured workmate.
We are proud of the efforts of all the personnel involved
and hope we never have to use these skills and/or
equipment in any environment outside the competition.
