Is a MET required on the job?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only on weekends
• D. Only if directed by supervisor

Answer: (A)

Having a Mine Emergency Team on the job is about emergency readiness and rapid medical or rescue response. The regulations require the MET to be on site during active operations so there is trained personnel immediately available to handle emergencies and coordinate with authorities. This is a standing requirement, not something that's only for weekends or at the discretion of a supervisor. So the correct answer is that a MET is required on the job whenever work is underway.
