Evidently the Lucky Friday management didn’t get the memo from Phil Baker concerning the CORESafety program Hecla adopted 4 years ago. Baker brags about it all the time so I’m sure they know what it is. On the Q&A page on Hecla’s website, Hecla makes the following statement in response to one of the questions: “The safety of our employees is our top priority and we expect all our employees to demonstrate safe work habits each and every day. Four years ago we adopted the National Mining Association’s CORESafety program, which is a risk-based management system approach which has resulted in the Lucky Friday’s safety performance substantially improving. Implementing these types of systematic tools in combination with a culture of continuous safety improvement is what makes mines safer.” Maybe the upper management at the Lucky Friday hasn’t read the webpage in light of what happened at the Lucky Friday May 2, 2017?
