Mine safety students could be a gold mine

Mine safety has come a long way since 바카라사이트 caged canary and Sir Humphry Davy's lamp. But who would have thought that 바카라사이트 coal industry would be clamouring for its professional rescue service to be trained at university?

Yet that is precisely what is happening. The British Coal Corporation has just asked Nottingham University's department of mineral resources engineering to establish 바카라사이트 first distance-learning course for mines rescue station officers, 바카라사이트 Rescue Station Officers Certificate, a two-year course for officers who want to move up 바카라사이트 rescue service.

Course tutor Rod Stace acknowledged that "바카라사이트 course is not of a high academic standard". So why take it on? Dr Stace said: "We're very interested in 바카라사이트 commercial aspects of 바카라사이트 venture."

Nottingham is now looking at 바카라사이트 possibility of establishing additional vocational courses for 바카라사이트 mining industry.

Perhaps 바카라사이트 money-rich privatised coal mines could prove a gold mine for Nottingham.
