When Do You Take Refuge? training screen shotThis package contains the instructor´s guide, lesson plans and computer-based training (CBT) that can be used by instructors for the "When Do You Take Refuge? Decisionmaking during Mine Emergency Escape" training program. This training program was created by a multidisciplinary team at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to help trainees practice correct decisionmaking skills during an underground mine emergency.

The purpose of the CBT program is to simulate an underground mine emergency and require trainees to make choices similar to those that they would have to make in a real emergency. This training incorporates recent safety developments in underground coal mining technology by including emergency escape options such as refuge alternatives located near the working face, outby refuge alternatives, and caches of extra self-contained self-rescuers (SCSRs).
