Emergency Escape and Refuge Alternatives

This training tool was created by NIOSH to teach underground miners at all skill levels about emergency escape and using refuge alternatives. This training product can be integrated into required new miner training courses, annual refresher courses, or any other mine site training. The presentation can be used as-is, or it can be customized to reflect the specific policies and refuge alternatives of the mine and requirements that may be unique to a specific state. The training is a safety talk with a duration of 15-30 minutes.
