Download or read book Recommendations for Refuge Chamber Operations Training written by Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refuge alternatives are airtight, reinforced shelters that underground coal miners can enter during a mine emergency. Although different states and different mines refer to refuge alternatives by different names, this publication will refer to refuge alternatives that are close to the working face as refuge chambers, whether inflatable from a skid or constructed from steel. Other common terms for refuge chambers are rescue chambers, rescue shelters, and refuge shelters. Refuge alternatives that are outby of the face area, whether a prefabricated refuge chamber or one built into a crosscut, will be referred to as outby refuges because of their location in the mine. Outby refuges can be permanent, semipermanent, or portable and are usually located at every other self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) cache. Outby refuges are sometimes called hardened rooms, outby shelters, or in-place shelters. Refuge chambers are safe havens that provide breathable air, food, water, and a safe environment for up to 96 hours. They are typically made of steel or have tents that inflate from a steel skid. In 2008, the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) mandated that all underground coal mines provide refuge alternatives at each working face and at additional locations outby the faces [73 Fed. Reg. 80698 (2008)]. Refuge chambers are usually portable so that they can be moved as mining advances. It should be noted that entering a refuge chamber is a last resort for miners in an emergency situation. Although this option is considered a last resort, as refuge chambers are added to underground coal mines, mine trainers and refuge chamber manufacturers are faced with the task of training miners how to operate them. The regulation [73 Fed. Reg. 80698 (2008)] states that in addition to an introductory training session, each quarterly evacuation drill must include a review of the procedures for use of refuge alternatives. In addition, annual expectations training must include deployment and operation of refuge alternatives similar to those in use at the mine. As part of a larger project titled “Refuge Chamber Training,” NIOSH researchers observed four introductory refuge chamber training sessions and created this document to summarize their findings and make recommendations for future training sessions. This publication is intended to provide recommendations for training miners in how to operate a refuge chamber and may also be used to train miners on the operation of other types of refuge alternatives.

Download or read book Guidelines for Instructional Materials on Refuge Chamber Setup Use and Maintenance written by Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refuge chambers may potentially save the lives of miners during a mine emergency. For this reason, it is crucial that miners know how to operate them. Unfortunately, because refuge chambers provide so many services, they can be very complicated and difficult to operate. Therefore, NIOSH has created this document with suggestions for developing manuals and educational materials. A multidisciplinary team comprised of NIOSH engineers, sociologists, psychologists, health communication professionals, and geologists developed the recommendations contained in this document. These recommendations are based on an evaluation of manufacturers' instruction manuals from both the U.S. and globally, interviews with over 20 mining and safety experts, and an extensive literature review. This research, focused on the best practices for refuge chambers, led to the formulation of this document. It is intended to offer suggestions to manufacturers and mine operators on how to create effective and easy-to-understand training manuals for miners as well as tips to create the most comfortable and usable refuge chambers. It should be noted that these recommendations are not meant to substitute for manufacturer-supplied materials but rather to be used in conjunction with manufacturer's materials. Manufacturers should always be consulted for up-to-date information about their chamber. Although different states and different mines refer to underground refuges by different names, this guide will simply refer to underground refuges nearest to the face as refuge chambers, whether inflatable from a skid or constructed from steel. Other popular terms for refuge chambers are rescue chambers, rescue shelters, and refuge shelters. Refuges that are nearer to the shaft, whether a prefabricated refuge chamber or one built into a crosscut, will be referred to as outby refuges because of their location in the mine. Outby refuges can be permanent, semipermanent, or portable and are usually located at every other SCSR cache. Outby refuges are sometimes called hardened rooms, outby shelters, and in-place shelters. When discussing outby refuges and refuge chambers collectively, this guide will refer to them as underground refuges. Other terms for underground refuges include refuge alternatives, locations of safety, and safe havens. The purpose of this document is to provide manufacturers and mine operators with guidance on the development of instructional materials for refuge chamber set up, use and maintenance in support of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act of 2006. This document offers suggestions to aid those responsible for instructing miners in the operation of refuge chambers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vice Admiral Allan Rockwell McCann left no reminiscences that might reveal a deeper sense of his extraordinary service, but naval historian Carl LaVO has filled that void by writing this revealing—and often inspiring—biography. Among McCann’s many accomplishments: Served as liaison officer for the modification of the antiquated O-12 submarine into the privately-leased Nautilus that made the first attempt to sail beneath the Arctic ice shelf in 1931; pioneered the McCann Submarine Rescue Chamber; directed fire from the sub tender Pelias at Japanese aircraft attacking Pearl Harbor; commanded the battleship Iowa during the Battle of Leyte Gulf; was Chief of Staff of the Navy’s 10th Fleet that stymied a last ditch effort to attack North America via U-boats; headed the Navy task force that transported President Truman to the Potsdam conference; and as ComSubPac was aboard the first submarine to navigate under the polar ice in 1947. This book is an overdue appreciation of a significant admiral who has been all but ignored in naval history.

Download or read book Professional Education Using E Simulations Benefits of Blended Learning Design written by Holt, Dale and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of digital, Web-based simulations for education and training in the workplace is a significant, emerging innovation requiring immediate attention. A convergence of new educational needs, theories of learning, and role-based simulation technologies points to educators’ readiness for e-simulations. As modern e-simulations aim at integration into blended learning environments, they promote rich experiential, constructivist learning. Professional Education Using E-Simulations: Benefits of Blended Learning Design contains a broad range of theoretical perspectives on, and practical illustrations of, the field of e-simulations for educating the professions in blended learning environments. Readers will see authors articulate various views on the nature of professions and professionalism, the nature and roles that various types of e-simulations play in contributing to developing an array of professional capabilities, and various viewpoints on how e-simulations as an integral component of blended learning environments can be conceived, enacted, evaluated, and researched.
