Hellas Gold aims to lead the way in mine operators’ training, introducing innovative learning programmes to ensure a safe workplace for its workers.
The company transformed part of its Madem Lakkos building facilities into a state-of-the-art training centre, repurposing the existing infrastructure that had been in care and maintenance since 2021.
Hellas Gold introduced three high-tech simulators for underground heavy machinery operators, including simulators for load haul dumper and jumbo drill, plus a VR headset for spotting critical machinery errors.
The company conducted a full 360o scanning and recording of Olympias underground mine tunnels to ensure workers are trained in real-world mining conditions. Based on this, it created an immersive training experience that mirrors the actual mine environment, including cockpit controls and equipment handling.
