I was finished my shoot and heading back to the vehicle when I spotted this miner about to cross my path. “Would you like a portrait?” I asked. “Of me?” she replied. “You can try taking a portrait of me but there is a reason why I am behind the camera LOL” I said. That immediately got a smile from her and I knew I had to capture it.
Having all your tools, parts, notes and supplies readily on hand makes any job easier. Keeping things organized in serves a few key purposes like 1. You will always know where to find it (along with co-workers) 2. Inventory is much easier to resupply and 3. Having less “clutter” in the workplace is more efficient for everyone. Notice how supply vehicles are setup to keep things organized for the operator, well this is done on purpose. Next time you are in any supply vehicle take notice on how it’s setup. Is it cluttered? Are there papers everywhere? Tim Hortons Coffee cups on the floor? If the vehicle (office) is cluttered, what is the productivity like?
