Chapter 960: Proper Management and Strict Protocols
"How is that possible? Mining in winter is dangerous! We can be trapped inside!"
"In spring, rainwater can clog the mines and lead to miners trapped inside and drowning!"
"Indeed! The soil also softens when it rains, so cave-ins become frequent. We might die inside!"
"There are a lot of miners who have died from such incidents before!"
The people refused to believe Norbert’s words due to past experiences they had encountered here.
"We understand that you may have worries since mining can be dangerous, and accidents may happen.
However, with proper management and equipment, appropriate strategies, and strict protocols, these hazards and the possibility of accidents can be lessened.
In Fidelis, after strictly following set guidelines and protocols and having competent management teams while improving and updating mitigating strategies, we have suffered zero casualties for the last 10 years in mines personally owned by my family," Norbert confidently responded.
"Impossible! I have been a miner for more than 10 years, and every year, there are a lot of casualties every time accidents occur," some from the crowd said in disbelief.
"Me too! That’s not possible at all! I know more than 10 of my closest neighbors who died from mining," another said.
"Please don’t lie. We already know the risks, but we go anyway because we need money," another miner added.
