By GlobalDataThe conference will also feature two awards, the 40-year Safer Miner Recognition prize and the Hero Award. The former is gifted to employees who have worked for at least 40 years in the south-eastern mining community without injury and who have upheld safety standards throughout their careers. A total of 26 miners received the 40-year Safe Miner Recognition award at last year’s conference. Last year’s Hero Award, given to a single mine worker for acts of bravery in protecting others, was given to New Line Transport driver Barry Williams for rescuing a woman trapped in her car following a traffic accident.
Mine rescue competitions
Carroll Technologies will also be present at two mine rescue events later this year. The National Mine Rescue Competition, in Lexington, Kentucky will be held from 23-26 July, and the Missouri Regional Mine Rescue Contest will be held in Rolla, Missouri from 1-4 October. Both competitions will highlight the latest equipment and techniques involved in mine rescue operations, and Carroll will attend to support both existing customers and those who could benefit from the company’s services in the future.
The company’s metal/non-metal mining and industrial sales accounts manager Josh Johnson said: “Carroll Technologies Group strives to continue to stay abreast on new products and current trends in the market by attending specific events as a vendor. This allows us the opportunity to showcase our company’s products and services and search for potential partnerships that fit our business model.
“We also attend mine rescue events to show support for our existing customers and their teams.”
