| Summary/abstract: | - Mine emergencies such as fires, explosions, and gas or water inundations require prompt action and efficient management of emergency operations. Responsible persons (and others who are training to become responsible persons) will need to know how to perform and delegate a variety of tasks during a mine emergency. This Instructional Guide (IG) is designed to be used in conjunction with the mine's Emergency Response Plan (ERP), associated plans, and procedures required during a mine emergency. The materials in this guide must be tailored with the mine's existing plans to create an effective program of site-specific instruction that will provide the mine's responsible persons with the knowledge to act quickly, effectively, and appropriately in the event of a mine emergency. This guide is divided into eleven sections which correspond with the training topics as prescribed in 30 CFR Part 75.1501. These sections are arranged in the following order: (1) Initiating an Emergency Mine
Evacuation; (2) Contacting Emergency Personnel; (3) Organizing a Command Center; (4) Establishing Security; (5) Communicating Appropriate Information Related to the Emergency; (6) Coordinating Firefighting Personnel; (7) Deploying Firefighting Equipment; (8) Coordinating Mine Rescue Personnel; (9) Deploying Mine Rescue Teams; (10) Establishing a Fresh Air Base; and (11) Providing for Mine Gas Sampling and Analysis. It is suggested that these training topics be integrated into regularly scheduled training activities, safety talks, and mine managers' meetings if possible. This additional training will benefit the responsible person, as well as other personnel at the mine.
