Mining Mock Trial: part three
2:45 pm - 3:45 pm
Vale Cavern
Mathews, Dinsdale & Clark will lead a three-part interactive mock trial exercise reviewing critical issues surrounding worker safety in a mining operation. The case explores whether the mining company’s actions violated Section 55 of the Mines and Mining Plants regulation, which prohibits workers from conducting tasks without protective measures in place when others are working overhead. As the trial proceeds, attendees will learn whether any failures directly led to worker injuries.
