P&H / MinePro Cardinal Rules of Safety

Cardinal Rules are site specific at P&H and MinePro. They are the rules that are absolutes, because violation could result in a fatality. Employees violating cardinal rules are disciplined up to and including termination. It is every employee's responsibility to abide at all times by the Cardinal Rules.
