The sign was used at the Agrium Vanscoy Potash mine. Vanscoy, Agrium's only potash plant, located in Saskatchewan, accounts for three percent of world potash capacity, making the company the 10th largest producer. Agrium has been expanding the mine and upgrading the equipment since 2009. Through warning and instructions, the signage reveals mining culture and realities of working underground. For example, the speed limit reflects the fact that many mining accidents are caused by mining trucks being driving too fast in narrow galleries; "good" and "no good" fire extinguisher signs reminds miners to only use equipment that is approved by safety regulations; and refuge station signs speak to the importance of this area in a mine.

Fonction

To inform or instruct employees.

Technique

Underground mines can stretch for kilometre and match in size to towns or small cities. The mine signage is used to instruct employees about speed limits, gallery locations, directions to a refuge station, various facilities, warnings, safety instructions and proper use of equipment.
