Twin Creeks Life Savers Recognized at Regional Conference

RENO, NEVADA - A group of Twin Creeks Mine employees riding home on the bus together after an overnight shift saved the life of a colleague experiencing a heart attack.

For their heroic actions, employees Dave Lott, Hartley Parish, Lalo Gonzales and Jose Leon Canonola each received the Joseph A. Holmes Lifesaver Award during the 5th Annual Joint Regional Mine Safety and Health Conference in Reno. The award is given “for saving or attempting to save a life using modern life saving techniques and/or quick and appropriate action in an attempt to save a life.” According to its website, the Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association (JAHSA) is a nonprofit organization that began in 1916 to promote health and safety in the mining industry and consists of representatives from Federal and State Governments, Mining and Labor Organizations. Many thanks to these fine employees for their teamwork and commitment to action during this medical emergency.
