60年代苏联曾首次在偏远矿山采用轮换工作制,作为开发偏远矿床的一种手段。目前,在加拿大这种轮换工作制已得到广泛应用,近期内很可能有更大的发展。由于运输业的发达,人口分布不均(90%的人口集中在南部狭长地带)和有开采价值的矿产资源大都分布在偏远的北方,所以轮换工作制在加拿大的使用日益增多。1972年 For the first time in the 1960s, the Soviet Union adopted a rotation system in remote mines as a means of developing remote deposits. At present, this rotation system in Canada has been widely used and is likely to have greater development in the near future. Because of the developed transport industry, the uneven distribution of the population (90% of the population is concentrated in the southern strip) and the mineral resources with mining value are mostly located in the remote north, so the rotation work system is being used more and more in Canada. 1972
