- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Pittsburgh Research Laboratory has a requirement to address a need for a comprehensive study of the issues surrounding the removal of electrical power from equipment and systems in an underground mine under abnormal circumstances, such as loss of ventilation, detection of excessive methane, or after an accident such a fire or explosion. Key topics include removal of potential ignition sources, maintaining operation of critical mine monitoring and communication systems, practical aspects of mine evacuation and rescue operations, questions with respect to regulatory requirements, new Miner Act requirements, and a current lack of clear guidelines and accepted standard procedures. This project will ultimately develop guidelines for the mining industry to allow workers and emergency response to personnel to safely manage electrical equipment and systems in an underground mine during a mine emergency or under other abnormal circumstances.
