This course provides an overview of exploration safety techniques and standards in order to prepare students for working in Yukon’s mineral industry. Training modules include, but are not restricted to: proper camp configuration and management, bear awareness training, backcountry navigation, drilling safety, and underground mine safety. The course will include a number of independent certification courses that are required for the Mineral Resources program. Lectures will be coordinated by a college instructor but will incorporate numerous guest speakers from all areas of the mining community.
