• Description:
  "Content: This paper-and-pencil simulation is an interactive story that presents a scenario in which Harry Hamilton, a section foreman on a longwall setup section, must decide what to do when he learns there is a fire in his mine. As time goes along, Harry must face a series of choices about how best to increase his and his crew's chances for survival. The story is taken in part from real-life incidents. Objectives: The completion of this exercise can help new miners, experienced miners, trainers, and others who must deal with issues of self-rescue and escape become more aware of: 1. The need to gather as much information as possible as early as possible; 2. The value of knowing one's escapeways; 3. The need to use self-contained self-rescuers (SCSRs) properly; 4. The value of a multigas detector in an emergency; and, 5. When, and under what circumstances, to enter a refuge alternative. Intended Audiences: 1. Miners in annual refresher classes; 2. Trainers; 3. Responsible Persons; 4. Command center personnel; 5. Original equipment manufacturers; and, 6. Researchers." - NIOSHTIC-2
