The Mining Emergency Response Competition (MERC) is a not-for-profit initiative that promotes safety in the mining industry while connecting professionals and volunteers committed to emergency preparedness and teamwork. MERC has grown into a respected, world-class event attracting teams from across Western Australia and beyond, featuring realistic scenarios that test skills in mine rescue, medical response, firefighting, and crisis management.
This years event will take place from 27 – 29 November at Langley Park in the City of Perth, Western Australia.
Why Register for MERC?
The event provides immersive, hands-on training for volunteer mine rescue teams through high-pressure scenarios covering road crash rescue, hazardous materials, confined space, vertical rescue, firefighting, team readiness, incident management and advanced first aid. Teams are judged on applying best-practice procedures and overall rescue discipline performance.
The event welcomes industry leaders, mining families, and the wider Westen Australian community to watch live demonstrations and support teams. MERC welcomes a large number of attendees each year, including government officials, senior mining executives, family, friends and members of the wider community.
