Mine Signage, Barricading and Hazard Demarcation Standards

Builds a consistent approach to signage, barricading and demarcation that warns people of hazards and controls access across African surface and underground mines. Participants learn to select, place and maintain warning systems for open holes, excavations, no go areas and energised equipment. The programme addresses a control that is simple in principle yet frequently fails in practice.
