    Mine Rescue Team Training Metal and Nonmetal Mines U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration National Mine Health and Safety Academy MSHA 3027 (Formerly IG 6) Revised 2008 Visit the Mine Safety and Health Administration website at www.msha.gov CONTENTS Introduction Your Role as an Instructor Overview Module 1 – Surface Organization Module 2 – Mine Gases Module 3 – Mine Ventilation Module 4 – Exploration Module 5 – Fires, Firefighting, and Explosions Module 6 – Rescue of Survivors and Recovery of Bodies Module 7 – Mine Recovery Module 8 – Mine Rescue Training Activities Introduction Throughout history, miners have traveled underground secure in the knowledge that if disaster strikes and they become trapped in the mine, other miners will make every possible attempt to rescue them. This is the mine rescue tradition. Today’s mine rescue efforts are highly organized operations carried out by groups of trained and skilled individuals who work together as a team. Regulations require all underground mines to have fully-trained and equipped professional mine rescue teams available in the event of a mine emergency. MSHA’s Mine Rescue Instruction Guide (IG) series is intended to help your mine to meet mine rescue team training requirements under 30 CFR Part 49. The materials in this series are divided into self-contained units of study called “modules.” Each module covers a separate subject and includes suggestions, handouts, visuals, and text materials to assist you with training. Instructors and trainers may wish to use these materials to either supplement existing mine rescue training, or tailor a program to fit their mine-specific training needs.

  • Carbon Dioxide - Wikipedia
    5/20/2020 Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with Carbon dioxide a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. The current concentration is about 0.04% (412 ppm) by volume, having risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm.[8] Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and it is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution in water and acids. Because carbon dioxide is soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers and lakes, ice caps, glaciers and seawater. It is present in deposits of petroleum and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is odorless at normally encountered concentrations, but at high concentrations, it has a sharp and acidic odor.[1] At such Names concentrations it generates the taste of soda water in the Other names [9] mouth. Carbonic acid gas As the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric Carbonic anhydride carbon dioxide is the primary carbon source for life on Earth and Carbonic oxide its concentration in Earth's pre-industrial atmosphere since late Carbon oxide in the Precambrian has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological phenomena. Plants, algae and Carbon(IV) oxide cyanobacteria use light energy to photosynthesize carbohydrate Dry ice (solid phase) from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen produced as a waste Identifiers product.[10] CAS Number 124-38-9 (http://ww w.commonchemistr CO2 is produced by all aerobic organisms when they metabolize carbohydrates and lipids to produce energy by respiration.[11] It is y.org/ChemicalDeta returned to water via the gills of fish and to the air via the lungs of il.aspx?ref=124-38- air-breathing land animals, including humans.

  • Gas Testing Refresher
    Passion to Inspire GAS TESTING REFRESHER GAS TESTING REFRESHER GAS TESTING REFRESHER Although there is a dispute to who invented the "first" miner's flame lamp that was safe to use in fiery mines. The success of the flame safety lamp was a culmination of the principles discovered by Dr. William R. Clanny, Sir Humphrey Davy, and George Stephenson. All three worked independently on the problem at about the same time, and all had some knowledge of the other's work. GAS TESTING REFRESHER The principle of isolating the flame of the lamp was evolved by Dr. Clanny in 1813. Clanny's first lamp designs involved enclosing the flame, and pressurizing the lamp via bellows that would use water reservoirs to isolate the flame. The lamp was rather clumsy, and saw no practical use in the mines. But the feature of a glass window would be later a common feature on safety lamps. GAS TESTING REFRESHER GAS TESTING REFRESHER Sir Humphrey Davy was performed several experiments of his own for the development of a safety lamp. In 1815, Davy discovered that if two vessels were filled with explosive gas, they might be connected together by a narrow tube, and the gas in one of the chambers could be exploded without transmitting the explosion to the adjoining chamber. This meant that a flame in a lamp, fed mine air through small orifices, would not ignite the surrounding air of the mine. GAS TESTING REFRESHER Davy's further experiments found that mesh-holes of fine metallic gauze acted the same way as narrow tubes.

Mines that have seals less than 120 PSI are required to examine all seals daily. 6) The person receiving the call out from a certified mine examiner, must also be a certified mine examiner, and must sign the books and record his/her number. 7) Before the examination is complete the books must be signed by the mine examiner and the mine manager. If the examination has been called out the books also must be signed by the certified person taking the call out. 2 ILLINOIS MINING LAWS PRACTICAL COAL MINING COURSE LESSON ILLINOIS MINING LAWS (Answers stated in simplified terms) 1. Q. What are the duties of a mine manager as prescribed by “The Coal Mining Act”? A. He shall see that the mine examiner properly performs his duties as follows: (The duties of the mine examiner; Section 6.04-6.11) When performing his duties, he shall carry an approved gas detector in good working order, a sounding rod, an anemometer, a watch, a measure, pencil, paper, and chalk. Within 3 hours before the beginning of the shift, he shall examine all active working places, testing with an approved gas detector for firedamp, and for oxygen deficiency; he shall also test the roof, ribs and faces of active working areas, travel ways, roadways, and the approaches to abandoned workings for any unsafe condition.
