“I congratulate MSIA in developing this presentation. The framework and content can be applied to all Coal Mining Operations. The presence and contribution from all three presenters, Stewart and Jo and Marc, makes the presentations one of the most powerful presentations I have attended. I would recommend all employees within the Queensland Coal mining industry attend… in fact I believe it should be included in general industry training… this is a powerful message that everyone in our industry should hear.” R.B., 18 Mar
“I would strongly agree that this training should be put before all supervisor/managers in the coal industry. there is so much to gain from the presenters knowledge.. loved it and so touching to here from a parent that has lost a loved one because of shortcuts being taken by senior managers..” K.H., 18 Mar
“I think all persons involved in the mining industry or like would benefit from attending this presentation. It was very emotional at times, but maintained a factual basis without prejudice… the very embodiment of best safety practice in my opinion.” L.H., 01 Mar 2013
“I found the seminar a sobering reminder of the environment in which we work on a daily basis. Having worked underground on and off during my career, this seminar comprehensively demonstrated the importance of taking action to prevent catastrophic results. I sincerely hope its the last time we have to learn such a lesson.” Anon, 01 Mar
