Wireless Communication and Tracking Systems for Mine Safety Management

This document outlines the requirements for wireless communication and tracking systems to ensure the safety of miners during emergencies. Vendors must submit applications for approval by the director, including a Communication/Tracking Plan due by August. The system should enable two-way communication with each miner and allow effective tracking through known points, especially in escapeways. Critical equipment, training requirements for miners and rescue teams, and updates for the rescue plan are emphasized to enhance accident survival and operational efficiency.

  1. 56-4-9 Communications/Tracking • Vendors need to submit application • Director approve • Wireless – miner not connected by wire • Two-way communications to each miner in at least two separate airways • Tracking each miner in relation to known points prior and in escapeways after • Operators submit Communication/Tracking Plan by Aug • Understand needs and thought through risks • Survive accident or be quickly repairable • Communication center operator needs red-hat card • Require update of rescue plan 22A-1-35 • Current comm./track operations plans on site • Extra equipment for mine rescue teams • Training requirements for miners and mine rescue teams 1

  2. Definitions 3.10. “Wireless” means allowing individual communications by a miner through a mine communication and tracking/locating system without a physical connection. 3.11. “Communication device” means equipment that is a component of an integrated mine communication and tracking/locating system for purposes of emergency communication. 3.12. “Physical location” means the position of a miner in relation to a tracking device at a known location to enhance escape and/or rescue. 3.13. “Tracking/location” means knowing the physical location of miners at the moment of an accident and as escape progresses if the tracking/location system being used is still functional. 3.14. “Tracking/locating device” means equipment that is a component of an integrated mine communication and tracking/locating system for the purpose of providing the physical location of a miner during an emergency. 2
