American Rock Salt's environmental manager, Joe Bucci Jr., explained that the mine has a safety program that is "both proactive and effective." "That being said, if an accident does occur, having the right life-saving training, supplies and equipment is vital," Bucci said. "The implementation of the Mobile Rescue System throughout our mine will help ensure that proper medical care is adminis- tered quickly and effectively." Called the "Cadillac of First Aid Kits" by WIRED, the Mobi- lize Rescue System includes an innovative diagnostic app that will help miners assess, manage and monitor medical emergen- cies until professional fi rst responders arrive. Each unit includes all the equipment necessary to manage severe bleeding, sei- zures, choking, cardiac arrest, opiate overdoses and much more. "The app provides 'just-in-time' training that empowers by- standers to provide life-saving care," said Seth Goldstein, direc- tor of training and education at Mobilize Rescue Systems. "The app ensures that an immediate responder, the person present when the emergency occurs, doesn't have to rely only on memo- ry in the heat of the moment." www.mobilizerescue.com New Valves for Canadian Market NCI Canada Inc. announced a new line of commercial iron body valves for the Canadian marketplace.
