First aid competitions were held over the years and was in a large part connected with the mine. The numerous trophies that were awarded is indicative of the importance of youth first aid teams as well as the adult teams competing yearly. This also added the peace of mind that there were so many people able to apply their skills in emergencies, should the need arise.
