This workshop is designed for Environmental Practitioners in the mining and pulp and paper industry to understand how to plan for emergency response drills under federal and provincial requirements (E2, SPCP, and MDMER/PPER). As a group, participants will develop a drill, then go through the process of conducting and debriefing a table top drill.
Increase your understanding of the role of environmental professionals, within the framework of a modern day mining operation. Session 1 will cover environmental regulations and permitting.
This session is a detailed review of the regulatory requirements and associated guidance documents, providing an in-depth review of the criteria for compliance, monitoring and reporting requirements. Participants will review the regulation itself in detail, highlighting key points and interpreting the requirements for their sites.
Participants will learn how to use a GPS unit, and then plot points and other saved data onto Google Earth, then how to take Google Earth points and transfer those onto the GPS unit. This training includes theory as well as a field component where participants can practice navigating and mapping using GPS units and laptops.
