The insatiable global desire for energy and raw materials fuels the 24/7 economy, and requires a hardworking round-the-clock workforce often in demanding environments where safe and productive performance is critical 24-hours a day.
Challenges
Variable demand. The fluctuating market dictates production needs and requires that mines be staffed accordingly to meet both the boom and the bust.
Stringent safety requirements. The ever more strict regulatory safety requirements dictate the need for a workforce trained not only in safe operating practices but also personal fatigue awareness.
Healthcare costs. The exposure to a challenging work environment inherently brings some additional concerns for personal health.
