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:

Instructions for printing the flash cards:
