MSHA - Emergency Procedures

What constitutes an emergency? What actions should miners take in the face of an emergency? More importantly, what are the different types of emergencies that miners need to be aware of. This course will help learners identify different types of emergencies and the various protocols that deal with each of those emergencies. For example, fire emergencies require a different response plan as compared to a chemical spill emergency. Aimed with this knowledge learners can protect themselves and their peers from incidents and accidents.
