Safety Hazard Alert Posted
Oxygen Safety In Refuge Alternatives
A portable Refuge Alternative, Shelter, or Chamber will provide miners protection in the event of a mine emergency. The unit can sustain miners for 96 hours as they await rescue. In order to provide the 96 hours of breathable air for miners, the refuge alternatives are equipped with high-pressure compressed oxygen cylinders. The oxygen delivery system remains in a "ready state" until it is "deployed" by miners during a mine emergency. |
