CMN 1617 — Intermediate Mine Rescue
The U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) requires that all underground mines have fully-trained and equipped professional mine rescue teams available in the event of a mine emergency. Mine rescue efforts are highly organized operations carried out by groups of trained and skilled individuals who work together as a team. Each mine rescue team is required to have 96 hours of mine rescue training every 2 years. This course is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of Title 30, CFR, Part 49 and IG7 and IG7a. Scenarios appropriate for intermediate mine rescue training will be used in the simulated mine and/or burn tunnel. This course may be team taught with industry. Content may vary based on individual mine plans and state and federal requirements. This course may be repeated 3 times and may be offered as variable credit.
