Before opening up this shop, we had multiple experiments and feedback from Indonesian miners and our own local Sudbury miners. We tried to make our coffee to the miner's liking. Currently, these are the blends that we think you may like.

Yes. The policy was thought of, brainstormed, scribbled, and drafted during lunchtime inside the refuge station 3,500 ft below ground in one of the Red Lake Mines. It's pretty cool right?

However, the final document was written in our actual office.

A refuge station is typically a room cut into the rock with a solid man-made wall supported by the ground support bolt and cement with a door in it. Refuge stations are used as a meeting room and lunch room for miners. Just as the name implies, the room is used as protection and shelter for miners, should there be any incident underground, such as fire, leaking gas, and earthquake

Sudbury is called Nickel City because of its long history with nickel mining. The city has a rich mining history that dates back to the mid-1850s, when the first deposits of nickel were discovered in the area. This discovery sparked a mining boom that would eventually lead to the growth of the city. The city's nickname, Nickel City, was first used in the late 19th century. At that time, Sudbury was booming with the mining industry and the city was home to several large nickel smelting plants. As a result, the city became a major producer of nickel ore and was known as the Nickel Capital of the World.

Mine rescue is a profession that is dedicated to rescuing miners and others who have become trapped or injured in underground mines. Mine rescue teams are specially trained and equipped to provide assistance in a variety of hazardous situations, from fires and explosions to floods and collapses. Mine rescuers often work in hazardous conditions, such as in smoke-filled or gas-filled environments, or in extremely hot or cold temperatures, and must often wear protective gear, such as respirators (BG4), protective clothing, and helmets. They must also be prepared to assist with medical treatment and the stabilization of trapped miners. Mine rescuers must also be prepared to enter and search an area for trapped miners, as well as to provide emergency care to those who have been injured. Mine rescue teams must be able to locate and identify potential hazards, and use specialized equipment and techniques to safely and efficiently rescue trapped miners. Mine rescuers must also be prepared to provide support and assistance to families and communities affected by mine disasters.

Mine rescuers must be trained to respond quickly and effectively to mine emergencies, and must be able to work with both surface and underground personnel to ensure the safety of miners and others. Mine rescue teams are an integral part of mine safety and are essential for the safe and successful operation of any mine.

Based on the NSC Injury Facts, mining industry is not even in the top 5 of the most dangerous industry to work in.

Any industry can be dangerous if procedure is not properly followed and protection equipment is not being worn.

Mining has come a long way. It was considered the most dangerous workplace in Ontario before 'Green Book' was invented and developed. Mining industry has become a safer workplace compared to other industries.

The Pocket Ontario OH&S Act and Regulations is referred to as Ontario 'Green Book' due to its appearance.

Ontario's Green Book is a comprehensive guide to the province's environmental laws, regulations, and policies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the environmental laws and regulations that apply to businesses and individuals in Ontario.

The Green Book is updated regularly to ensure that it reflects the most current environmental laws and regulations.

We refer this book as our bible in mining industry. When in doubt, we always go back to our 'Green Book' and find the answers in the book. This regulation and book as you may say is 'written in blood' to ensure the safety of future generations working in the mine.
