Mines rescue teams are able to compete in rescue competitions each year. Competitions not only provide an opportunity for teams to get together but are essential in allowing rescue teams to demonstrate and refine their skills in a simulated emergency environment. |
|
Typical exercises include recovering/treating persons injured underground, timbering, firefighting, dressage, mapping, FAB procedures and first aid. Teams also complete a theory assessment. |

In Queensland teams compete for the QMRS Memorial cup and EK Healy cup, with successful teams going through to compete at national level in the Australian Underground Mines Rescue Competition. |
