MINING OUTLOOK: HOW HAS THE TRAINING YOU HAVE PROVIDED BENEFITTED PEOPLE?

NAVIN VIJ, CEO, PARABELLUM INTERNATIONAL: “A big part of our emergency response and safety operations is that we can transfer lifesaving learnings into day-to-day life. When we help enhance medical or emergency awareness it means we’ve contributed something that may one day help to save a life.

“For example, recently a client had attended one of our training courses for work. Sometime later, they tragically had a family member suffer a heart attack. But, because of the training they had received from us, they played a crucial role in helping to save that family member’s life.

“So, for us as a company, that’s just one of the many rewarding things that we get to do on a daily basis and really make a tangible difference in this world.”
