Extract:

I have been working in the mining industry since 1989. My journey has been an Interesting  one and it’s hard to believe that I am now in my third decade in this mining business! Does this make me a “Wise Woman”? Do I Know it all? Am I a Safety Guru? (I would like to think so!). A safety warrior? I have the laughter lines that show  I have had a fantastic journey across three continents. I certainly do not feel wise but I feel that I have travelled the distance and come out the other side in one piece!

I have lost a few colleagues in that time from accidents in the pit and have come to realize that some of the hazards we talk about at work are very controlled yet there are other things happening that do not even get a mention.
