MINE ESCAPE PLANNING & EMERGENCY SHELTER WORKSHOP National Academy of Sciences Washington, DC April 2006 F.J. van Zyl CSIR South Africa

Slide 2 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Overview South African Approach Three main focus areas Underground fresh air Getting to it Getting to surface Current Practices Research Potential Needs Conclusions

Slide 3 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR South African Approach Mine Health and Safety Act Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment based (HIRA) Emergency Preparedness & Response – Risk Based

Slide 4 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR South African Approach in HIRA Practice Get Miners to Fresh Air Underground Fresh Air Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air

Slide 5 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Underground Fresh Air – Current Practice Hard Rock Mines 30 minutes from work area – based on SCSR duration Rescue Bay requirements Compressed air Water Communications First-aid Sufficient size for deployed workforce Get Miners to Fresh Air – Rescue Bays

Slide 6 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Underground Fresh Air – Current Practice Coal mines m maximum from work area – DME guideline, based on belt worn SCSR duration Fixed and Portable Fixed Access from surface for rescue – air from surface, communication, water, first-aid and rescue access. If no surface access 24 hours life support - oxygen candles, first aid, water, communications. Portable 24 hours duration, oxygen candles, first aid OEM design (Survive-Air, MARS, etc) Focus on Collieries Get Miners to Fresh Air – Rescue Bays

Slide 7 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Underground Fresh Air – Research Most rescue bays designs and layouts in-house based on DME guidelines (fixed and portable) Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) – Public funding Assessment of the design of refuge bays in coal mines – COL 115 Feasibility of using radio-assisted location of refuge bays (REBLE) – COL 224 (cancelled) Manual of best practice for emergency response procedures – COL 605 Get Miners to Fresh Air – Rescue Bays

Slide 8 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Underground Fresh Air –Needs Guidelines on maintenance of rescue bays Clear guidelines on location of rescue bays Sealing off of rescue bays Use of oxygen candles – fire risk, duration Flameproof and intrinsically safe issues – portable units Minimum design criteria for portable rescue bays Multiple entries into portable rescue bays Get Miners to Fresh Air – Rescue Bays

Slide 9 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Underground Fresh Air – Current Practice Assistance to ‘section waiting’ place: Belt worn SCSR based All miners in U/G coal mines issued with belt worn SCSR Each miner issued with dedicated unit Provide assistance to rescue bays or long duration caches SCSR durability Annual testing program – 1 % of all deployed SCSR tested annually (1 200/annum) CSIR select and test with use of breathing simulator Test criteria O 2, CO 2 and breathing resistance Tripartheid Technical Committee oversee testing – state, OEMs & labor Guidance on technical issues and testing specifications Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air

Slide 10 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Underground Fresh Air – Current Practice Assistance from ‘ section waiting’ place: Use of long duration units - chemical or compressed air Guidance systems Guide rope with directional cones most common Audio systems Rescue bays marked – audio, visual and physical Issue with enough air to reach 2 nd rescue bay (some mines) Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air

Slide 11 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Underground Fresh Air – Research Assistance to ‘section waiting’ place: Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) – Public funding Use of ULF for communication and control following an explosion – COL108 Procedures to overcome disorientation and visibility after explosions – GEN 101 Assistance from ‘waiting’ place: In-house and OEM developments Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air

Slide 12 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Underground Fresh Air – Needs Assistance to ‘section waiting’ place: Biggest current concern – unofficial statistics on quarterly escape training indicate that up 60 % do not make it Early warning system – Personal Safety Device (guidance and location purposes) EWAC Belts Aromatic gasses Etc. Non-visual guidance vs ‘visual’ guidance Preparedness training – surviving teams usually have brigades men with them Use of goggles with SCSR Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air

Slide 13 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Underground Fresh Air – Needs Assistance from ‘section waiting’ place: Effective system – engage more than one sense Reliability of systems after fire or explosion Get Miners to U/G Fresh Air

Slide 14 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air – Current Practice Mines Rescue Service (MRS) Brigade system Volunteer based Region and country wide MRS independent organization Rescue co-ordination centralized Brigades men training done by MRS - intense Annual assessment training of brigades men Very successful Good track record Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air

Slide 15 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air – Research Mines Rescue Service Continued improvement Focus on human physiological response Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air

Slide 16 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air – Needs (Challenges) Advancement rather than needs Physiological response – heat Declining numbers of brigades men Get Miners to Surface Fresh Air

Slide 17 Mine Escape Planning & Emergency Shelters Workshop, National Academy of Sciences, Washington D.C., 18 April © CSIR Conclusions Getting the miner to the ‘section waiting’ place biggest issue Guidance in high stress no-visibility situation Human response Technology assistance Guidelines on ‘Best Practice’ Rescue bases Withdrawal practices – early warning & guidance systems Evaluation of ‘Best Practices’ after incidents Humans Technology
