Mining
The insatiable global desire for energy and raw materials fuels the 24/7 economy and requires a hardworking round-the-clock workforce often in demanding environments where safe and productive performance is critical 24-hours a day.
Challenges
- Variable Demand – The fluctuating market dictates production needs and requires that mines be staffed accordingly to meet both the boom and the bust.
- Stringent Safety Requirements – The ever more strict regulatory safety requirements dictate the need for a workforce trained not only in safe operating practices but also personal fatigue awareness.
- Healthcare Costs – The exposure to a challenging work environment inherently brings some additional concerns for personal health.
