• Description:
  The NIOSH Pittsburgh Research Laboratory, desiring a more complete and accurate understanding of relevant issues in human escape outside of the mining industry, requested the preparation of a written report and annotated bibliography summarizing the available documentation on escape and rescue strategies, practices, and regulations currently in use in the United States industry and the military that could be relevant to the mining industry. An extensive literature search found 293 documents of potential relevance to NIOSH/PRL. These documents include refereed journal papers, technical reports, books, trade magazines and government documents. Non mining documents originate in a variety of domains such as the military, aviation, maritime, rail, construction, offshore, and nuclear and describe issues surrounding a variety of events such as avalanches, cave ins, transportation accidents, building collapses, mountain rescues, and trench or well collapses. The report is presented in four sections. This Executive Summary is Section 1. Section 2 provides a detailed summary of 18 papers and books that make important contributions thought to be most relevant to the NIOSH/PRL domain. Section 3 provides short bibliographic references to all 293 primary sources. Section 4 structures these documents, providing abstracts when available, into the following five primary categories, and forty one sub categories. [Description provided by NIOSH]
