Training Resources

The primary advanced-level curriculum for underground coal and metal/nonmetal mine rescue teams. Covers team organization, exploration and recovery procedures, ventilation control, and firefighting — the core reference most active teams train from.

Companion visuals book for IG 115 — the diagrams, maps, and illustrations referenced throughout the advanced training guide, without the accompanying text.

The starting point for a newly formed mine rescue team, coal or metal/nonmetal. Introduces basic team roles, breathing apparatus, and fundamental rescue procedures before moving on to IG 115.

Metal/nonmetal-specific team training, covering procedures and hazards unique to MNM mines that aren't addressed in the coal-focused guides.

Advanced coal-mine-specific rescue training, building on the initial guide with more complex exploration, ventilation, and recovery scenarios found in coal mines.

A set of hands-on practice activities and drills for coal mine rescue teams to sharpen the skills covered in IG 7 — useful for regular team practice sessions.

Training aimed at the responsible persons who must recognize and respond to a mine emergency at an underground coal mine before the rescue team arrives — not the rescue team itself.
