You are the mine foreman. When you return from an errand, you learn there has been a large face ignition in the Vulcan Mine. The 001 section crew has come out of the mine with three injured miners. The injured miners have been sent to a hospital by ambulance. You must decide what to do to prevent any further damage or injuries, to report the ignition, to learn about conditions in the mine, and to safely restore the section and the mine to operation.
The companion invisible ink exercise "Vulcan Mine Ignition" precedes the problem that addressed in this exercise. The two exercises may be used in sequence or independently. This exercise has no correct answer feedback. Rather, it requires the trainee to work completely through the problem, receiving only the feedback that would be available in a real situation. Therefore, the instructor must display the answer key at the conclusion of the exercise. Trainees must then check the accuracy of their responses. Group discussion of the problem should follow.
