  As per the latest research, human error is responsible for nearly 90% of mining mishaps. The majority of these accidents, which mostly involve mining equipment, are caused by driver drowsiness and carelessness. Fatigue has both active and passive implications for mining businesses. The active implications include reduced productivity rate, poor equipment performance, property damage, injuries, fatalities, and other additional expenses.

Image

To Succeed, We Must First Believe that We Can

We live in a world where everyone tries to make us believe that our dreams cannot come true. We have these voices in our heads that are saying to us every day “it is not possible. You cannot do it. It is very hard. You cannot succeed.” Or saying “it is not the time for it. You are not capable for it. You do not have the power to do it.” - and the list of all negative voices continues further.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the most crucial things for survival, and we should take it seriously. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle extends beyond diet and exercise. It is about finding the right answer to the question - “how do you balance eating healthy, working out, having a career, going to university, relationships and socializing?” Balance is something that helps us get through life without much trouble. However, the problem with balance is that you do not realize you are losing it until it is too late.  It is all too easy for us to put our own self-care on the back burner. It is easy to lose sight of what is important in life at times. Each of our life is different. At the same time, each of our lives are so chaotic that it is easy to get off course and lose sight of what is important to us as an individual. Every one of us faces such balance issu...
