Download or read book Strategies for Escape and Rescue from Underground Coal Mines written by Danrick W. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 2 of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (2006 MINER Act), Public Law 109-236, [MINER Act 2006] directed operators of underground coal mines to improve accident preparedness and response. This report summarizes the findings of research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) between December 2007 and March 2009 to identify the attributes of an improved escape and rescue system. This report focuses on specific guidelines for escape and rescue from underground coal mines during fire and explosion incidents and contains an investigation of United States and worldwide mine practices. The basic elements of a mine emergency response system (escape, rescue, and incident command) are addressed. Further, knowledge gaps, training, human behavior, and technology challenges are also identified. This report presents a strategy of self-escape and safe-rescue including incident command as an integrated system with consideration given to U.S. underground coal mine demographics. The findings are intended to facilitate the evolution of all miners' capabilities and support institutions so that they will have a greater chance of successfully managing abnormal incidents without injury or fatalities.

This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal mine disasters in the United States are relatively rare events; many of the roughly 50,000 miners underground will never have to evacuate a mine in an emergency during their careers. However, for those that do, the consequences have the potential to be devastating. U.S. mine safety practices have received increased attention in recent years because of the highly publicized coal mine disasters in 2006 and 2010. Investigations have centered on understanding both how to prevent or mitigate emergencies and what capabilities are needed by miners to self-escape to a place of safety successfully. This report focuses on the latter - the preparations for self-escape. In the wake of 2006 disasters, the U.S. Congress passed the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act), which was designed to strengthen existing mine safety regulations and set forth new measures aimed at improving accident preparedness and emergency response in underground coal mines. Since that time, the efforts of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) have contributed to safety improvements in the mining industry. However, the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in 2010 served as a reminder to remain ever vigilant on improving the prevention of mine disasters and preparations to help miners survive in the event of emergencies. This study was set in the context of human-systems integration (HSI), a systems approach that examines the interaction of people, tasks, and equipment and technology in the pursuit of a goal. It recognizes this interaction occurs within, and is influenced by, the broader environmental context. A key premise of human-systems integration is that much important information is lost when the various tasks within a system are considered individually or in isolation rather than in interaction with the whole system. Improving Self-Escape from Underground Coal Mines, the task of self-escape is part of the mine safety system.

Book Synopsis Review of Best Practices Regarding the Use of Refuge Chambers in South Africa by : W. Marx
Download or read book Review of Best Practices Regarding the Use of Refuge Chambers in South Africa written by W. Marx and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of rescue chambers is widely practiced in South African underground coal mines with both fixed and portable types of rescue chambers currently being used. The successful implementation of underground rescue chambers is dependent upon various issues: (1) the location or deployment of rescue chambers relative to the underground workforce; (2) the construction and maintenance requirements of rescue chambers to remain operational during underground emergencies such as the aftermath of underground methane and coal dust explosions and fires; (3) the minimum equipment and amenities required to sustain the life and morale of the miners located in the rescue chamber; (4) emergency preparedness training and frequency of exercises required to ensure that miners will be able to locate refuge chambers with provided systems in an irrespirable and zero visibility environment and to communicate effectively with rescue personnel; (5) and the rescue strategy and stay period required to bring the miners to safety. The purpose of this research is to continue to understand the issues associated with the use of refuge chambers and/or safe havens in underground coal mining operations as part of the mine escape and rescue strategies. The research includes a review of regulations, risk assessment, emergency preparedness and response, performance testing of refuge chambers, and identification of chamber manufacturers.

Download or read book Research on Critical Skills for Underground Coal Miners written by Henry P. Cole and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of studies was carried out which centers upon the identification of specific performance domains subsumed by the two broad categories of first aid and self-rescue and escape. These domains and the objectives they define comprise the critical nonroutine health and safety skills most needed by underground coal miners, and are used to develope exercieses designed to teach and assess these skills. Methods have been implemented to ensure that these exercises are authentic, motivating, and usable in typical annual refresher courses. The possibility of future research activities that might further improve mine health and safety training is also explored.

Book Synopsis Fire and Rescue Service operational guidance - incidents in tunnels and underground structures by : Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government
Download or read book Fire and Rescue Service operational guidance - incidents in tunnels and underground structures written by Great Britain: Department for Communities and Local Government and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents a framework for a safe system of work for operations at incidents involving tunnels and underground structures. It provides a robust yet flexible insight that can be adapted to the nature, scale and requirements of the incident. Incidents involving tunnels and underground structures may place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and have often required a national co-ordinated response from across the country. This type of incident may generate intense media attention where the operations of the emergency services are rigorously scrutinised. Whilst much of this attention is approving it will invariably focus on the preparedness of the emergency services and their operational effectiveness.
