Can anyone assist in deciphering this man's occupation as it is shown in the 1939 National Register?

Looks like 'emergency man' to me . . . . 'colliery emergency man or conveyor'

Thank you both, I will take it as Colliery emergency man on conveyor as two lines below his entry is one of his sons working as a Colliery Conveyor Belt Runner
