Seven pairs of walkie-talkies to Start Your Own Gold Mine

The seven pairs of walkie-talkies for adventurers attending the Start Your Own Gold Mine program have been brought to East Africa in January 2019. We always use walkie-talkies on mining sites because mobile phones and networks are often unavailable at remote locations, making them unreliable for communication. Walkie-talkies provide a crucial means of staying connected across vast distances within the mine site.

In mining operations, walkie-talkies serve several important functions:

• Communication with Equipment Operators: Supervisors can communicate directly with operators to give instructions or make adjustments in real-time.

• Safety Coordination: In case of emergencies such as cave-ins or equipment malfunctions, quick and clear communication is essential for ensuring the safety of all personnel on site.

• Site Management: Managers use walkie-talkies to coordinate activities among different teams working simultaneously across various sections of a mine.

Overall, walkie-talkies are indispensable tools that enhance efficiency and ensure effective coordination in mining environments where traditional mobile networks may not be available.
