Penn State Miner Training Program Materials: Do You Understand Mine Emergencies? Are You Prepared for a Mine Emergency?
The training program, titled, "Do you understand mine emergencies? Are you prepared for a mine emergency?" was prepared to help miners deal with mine emergencies. The purpose of the training program is to improve a miner’s capability to survive a mine emergency, primarily through mine emergency preparedness (MEP).
This training program consists of six training modules and supplemental materials. Each module has an Instructor’s Guide and a Participant’s Guide and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation that address major mine emergency preparedness issues.
NOTE: The PowerPoint presentations are formatted or prepared in the style of "talking points." For maximum effectiveness, the instructor/trainer needs to study the accompanying Instructor Guide, and become thoroughly familiar with the details of instruction. We also encourage you to revise these slides to fit the circumstances at your mine.
Any comments or questions should be directed to Mark Radomsky at mcr4@psu.edu.
