Collaboration, cooperation, continuous improvement and the promotion of sharing and teamwork within our industry are some of the aspects we highly value at TMEC.   

Emergency response and occupational, health and safety are absolute cornerstones of the Tasmanian mining, minerals processing, manufacturing and energy industry. 

The annual emergency response competition provides our teams with an important opportunity to practice, learn and showcase their skills. This is pivotal in the industry’s quest to ensure safe places of work and allows us to test our ability to provide Mutual Aid to each other. 

Workers, their families, and our wider communities should be confident that mining companies have the ability and preparedness to respond to a major incident within our industry or if need be to support emergency services in the local community.

Each year the event is moved to a different site which offers a financial injection in to the local economies with more than 100 people needing accommodation and catering over the 2 days and nights.
