• Description:
  The Mine Rescue and Self-Escape Survey (MRSES) was developed to collect information on perceived preparedness of underground mining professionals in mine rescue and self-escape situations. With the development of new digital training modalities, it is important to investigate the potential usefulness of different training methods, and how the frequency of current training methods and familiarity with evacuation tools and protocols play a role in perceived preparedness. Responses from this survey were used to assess the current state of training for mine rescue and self-escape in emergency situations. This survey found an interest in expanding the frequency of training opportunities and an openness to incorporate more digital training modalities into current training practices.
