Intent
Mine Rescue Contests are held throughout the mining areas – countrywide. Not only coal mines, but Metal/Non-Metal Mines have mine rescue teams ready to respond to any problem that may arise in the mining environment.
A Mine Rescue Contest is held so those teams can practice the skills necessary to properly respond to any situation where the services of a mine rescue may be needed. During the working of a problem, the rescue team will encounter situations similar to those found in underground mining. Each team will have to explore the mine, take a gas check, establish ventilation as necessary and account for all missing personnel, while still providing for their own safety under adverse conditions.
The contest is only one part of the teams many hours of practice and study that takes place before hand. Mine Rescue Team members, past and present, are an elite group dedicated to the safety and well being of underground miners. ü Thorough InspecTIon ü experT AnAlysIs Additionally, the contest gives a team’s Benchman the opportunity to exhibit their skills.

Benchman, a Mine Rescue Team is not complete. ü on-TIMe delIvery ü QuAlIfIed InsTrucTIon Another contest that has been added just a few years ago that is beginning to draw a lot of attention during the Safety Days is a Pre-shift Contest. This on-goIng supporT ü Contest is for Mine Examiner(s) to improve their skills inspecting the mines. The Examiner is a miner who is responsible to make sure that the mine is free of dangers such as methane gas, carbon monoxide gas, low oxygen, unsafe roof conditions, water in the mines, and other things that needs to be corrected. His/her job is done prior to the crew (shift) of workers entering the mine. This is where the word pre-shift originates.
Mine Rescue Teams are composed of mine personnel from various occupations at a given company. In their day to day jobs they carry out Global Headquarters various assignments, yet they all have a common focus as a team member; Pittsburgh, Pa 15238 • (412) 963-9071 • www.jennmar.com that is, the safety and well being of their fellow miners. Their participation in this and other contests allows them to be ready wherever the need arises.
