Raiseboring School
Redpath considers that future trends and safety mandates make innovation and training a key component of the growth of raise drilling. Recognizing the long term dedication and contribution of our raise drill manufacturing colleagues, Redpath strives to pass on our expertise and knowledge to our clients. The week long program helps establish consistency in raiseboring practices, safety and operation across the globe. Beyond the theoretical and practical completion of the program, the curriculum is a testament to Redpath’s credibility and full endorsement of employee investment. Each participant is evaluated by a Senior Supervisor before certification is awarded, and depending on an individual’s raise drilling role, between 1,000 and 4,000 hours of drill use is mandatory to graduate from the program. Redpath commits to the continual training of all personnel for all positions. Beyond raise drill operator training, Supervisors have completed a variety of professional development programs including Risk Management, Critical Task Management, Test Guide Comprehension, Leadership Training and more. All Redpath trained raise drill operators are qualified to assess the drill and its accessories for maximum efficiency, optimal performance and anticipate timely replacement of parts to ensure the highest availability and mitigate risk. Annual audits of the Raisebore School are completed to ensure the program is effective, current and maintains a high level of safety for employees.
