Living it up and playing it safe

摘要

For Robin Sheremeta safety is not just part of his job, it's a part of his personal mission. As general manager at Teck Coal's Elkview operations, Sheremeta wears many hats, but one that he wears most proudly is his safety hat. Given this, one might expect him to live a decidedly cautious life. Think again. In his spare time, Sheremeta can regularly be found scaling sheer cliffs, careening down dirt bike trails or navigating hair-raising ski slopes. However, despite appearances to the contrary, these pastimes and persuasions are not inconsistent. Sheremeta believes that safety lies not in avoiding risk, but in understanding, assessing and managing it courageously and intelligently.
