Sling Training
AME and PDAC collaborate on new
online training tool
By JONATHAN BUCHANAN
A
ME and the
Prospectors
& Developers
Association of
Canada (PDAC) have released
their first joint safety training
initiative: helicopter slinging
training. Both AME and
PDAC believe the helicopter
slinging training tool to
be the first tool of its kind
available to a wide audience.
The presentation can be
accessed at http://bit.ly/AMEPDAC
and goes over the basics of
helicopter slinging; this will be
a good resource for helicopter
crews, geologists and anyone
who uses helicopters to transport
goods – particularly in the mineral
exploration industry. The tool
may be viewed on computers,
tablets and smartphones,
or can be downloaded from
the amebc.ca website.
AME and PDAC thank AME
Environment, Health & Safety
Committee members Maria
Gabriel of Anglo American
Exploration (Canada) Ltd. and
Kim Bilquist of Teck Resources
Limited for spearheading
this presentation, and
Bailey Helicopters Ltd. and
Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. for
sponsoring this inaugural tool.
AME and PDAC have
also launched their 12th
annual Canadian Mineral
Exploration Environment,
Health & Safety Survey;
companies are encouraged
to complete it online at
explorationsurvey.ca.
Safety Reminder
