Sherritt just notified me that one of my images was selected for the cover of their annual report. These men were so much fun to photograph as they have never had their photograph taken at work by a photographer (at least a photographer that doesn’t use their cellphone). With this one trip to Cuba Sherritt now has an image library that they can use for all their reports, websites and investor relations media for the next year or two.
I think ALL mine sites should have this system to ensure the added safety of all Mine Personnel.
The J.A.W.S. 2 system (Jannatec Advanced Warning System) consists of a series of radio frequency transceivers attached to all underground vehicles, personnel and fixed hazards. Mine personnel will receive a clearly visible visual warning when in the vicinity of a moving vehicle or fixed hazard. In the same way, pedestrians are quickly detected by the operators of oncoming vehicles. JAWS 2 is able to tell the operator whether he is approaching a single worker, or a group of workers.
