These flashcards are an easy way to go over the lifeline tactile signals quickly with the miners at your mine.
Two files are available. The first file contains large-sized flashcards which can be used for larger meetings, such as pre-shift safety talks. The second file contains smaller flashcards which may be cut out and used for smaller meetings, such as crew pre-shift meetings. Simply print out the flashcards and laminate them if possible, and you will be ready for a quick practice session with the miners.
**Installation notes:**
Download and extract the ZIP file to a folder on your hard disk.
Open the PDF and print either large or small format flash cards. See instructions for printing below.**Instructions for printing the flash cards:**
Set printer settings to Full Duplex (print on both sides).
Print in color.
For small flashcards, cut apart. Laminate if desired to make the flashcards last longer.
