Underground mine refuge chamber expectations training: program development and evaluation
Margolis KA , Westerman CYK , Kowalski-Trakofler KM . Saf Sci 2011 49 (3) 522-530 Refuge chambers are new devices for underground coal mines that provide approximately 96 h of breathable air, water, food, and supplies in the event of an emergency where miners are unable to escape. Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a training program to prepare miners for what to expect psychologically and physiologically inside of a refuge chamber. The field tests of this training revealed that it was received very positively by miners and helped impart realistic views about the physical discomforts and psychological stresses of being inside a refuge chamber. |
