The Turkish Miners Association is organizing a mine rescue competition for the first time in Turkey. Five rescue teams working in different mines will compete under the supervision of international referees with realistic scenarios between September 10-13. <\/p>\n

The Turkish Miners Association is organizing the first mine rescue competition in Izmir. The National Mine Search and Rescue Competition will be held at the T\u00fcprag Efem\u00e7ukuru Gold Mine Operation in Izmir between September 10-13, 2019. <\/p>\n

Organizing a press conference in Izmir to promote the National Mining Search and Rescue Competition, Turkish Miners Association Board Chairman Ali Emiro\u011flu stated that they have implemented a mine rescue competition for the first time as an association, and that training on work accidents in mines has been increased and that they aim to keep the level of knowledge and awareness on this issue at the highest level with the competition.<\/p>\n

Losses can be prevented with effective rescue<\/p>\n

President Ali Emiro\u011flu stated that the competition has matured thanks to the drills carried out since December last year and noted that they aim to make the competition a tradition. Emiro\u011flu said, \u201cI would like to express with pleasure that today, in addition to public teams, we see that private sector companies have also started to form professional teams in mine rescue. The fact that we are able to hold this competition, which will be held here today as a first in the history of Turkish mining, is a concrete example of these positive developments. We will all witness during the competition that the mine rescue teams in our country are now at the same level and in the same league as the world in terms of technology, equipment and competence.\u201d <\/p>\n

Emiro\u011flu, who stated that work accidents occur in all lines of business but fatal accidents are higher in mines, said: \u201cThe frequency of work accidents in mines is still high. Unfortunately, Turkey is not at the desired level in this regard. The majority of accidents occur in underground operations and unfortunately result in significant losses. These losses could have been prevented with effective search and rescue operations. Businesses have important duties in this regard. Emergency plans must definitely be created by businesses and competent teams must be formed in search and rescue, especially in occupational health and safety. More than 10 thousand rescuers have been trained since 1938. Today, we see that private sector companies are also becoming professional in mine rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 competitors and 3 observer teams are participating<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Executive Board of the Competition, G\u00f6ksel Alpaslan, said that when they looked at the search and rescue competitions in developed countries, they saw such a deficiency in Turkey and therefore they brought the National Mining Search and Rescue Competition to life. Alpaslan stated that the most competent teams trained in this field in Turkey participated in the competition as competitors and observers, and expressed their desire for the participation to increase over the years and for similar teams to be established in every mine. Alpaslan noted that \u00c7ayeli Copper Enterprises, ESAN Eczac\u0131ba\u015f\u0131, Koza Gold Enterprises, T\u00fcprag Efem\u00e7ukuru Gold Mine and Turkish Coal Enterprises teams participated as competitors in the 3-day competition, while Polyak, \u0130mbat and T\u00fcmad teams participated as observers. The teams will demonstrate their competencies in the categories of underground search and rescue, fire response, first aid intervention skills, team skills, vehicle accident response and respiratory kit. <\/p>\n
