Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The annual Botswana Chamber of Mines Inter-mine First Aid Competitions are instrumental in contributing to high safety standards in the mining industry.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jwaneng Mine senior mineral resources manager, Mr Emmanuel Boiteto, said this on behalf of the general manager at the Jwaneng Mine Inter-departmental First Aid competitions on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mr Boiteto said the competitions did not only indicate the commitment towards First Aid, but also promoted the adoption of best First Aid practices in the industry.<\/p>\n

He said the competitions challenged industry players to improve their skills towards attaining zero harm in their operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indeed our hope that as the competition becomes intense year on year, it raises the bar of excellence of First Aid practice across the mining industry,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will hasten our efforts towards attaining zero harm in the mining sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Boiteto said these also resonated well with Debswana\u2019s safety value, \u201cPut Safety First,\u201d through which the company demonstrated its commitment towards prioritizing safety for its employees and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

He said through that value, Jwaneng Mine had deployed best safety processes and systems as a reassurance of creating a safe environment for all. Mr Boiteto said this year\u2019s theme, \u201cFirst Aid for Everyone, Everywhere\u201d, was intended to implore and encourage individual contributions to respond to emergency situations to prevent injuries and possible loss of lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cLessons learnt here should be applied to our daily work activities, at home and indeed on our roads,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is important to practically demonstrate that we \u2018Put Safety First\u2019 at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mining and Project Management Office departments will represent Jwaneng Mine at this year\u2019s Inter-mine First Aid competitions after they emerged the overall winners of the 13 participating teams, followed by Ore Processing and Health Services departments.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Mining department team leader, Mr Moremi Dingalo, said even though they had prepared well for the competitions, they omitted some procedures and that resulted in minor mistakes in various stages of the competition.<\/p>\n

He noted that going forward they intended to work harder to close such gaps as they prepare to face other teams at the national competitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have realised that we made some minor mistakes so we have to work very hard to correct them,\u201d he added. \u201cWe need to work on clearing the area to eliminate hazards, as well as having constant checks on vital signs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
