{"product_id":"2940013063129","title":"Emergency Escape \u0026 Refuge Alternatives","description":"Emergency escape and refuge alternatives was created by a multidisciplinary team at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to teach miners about emergency escape and using refuge alternatives. The training is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and is intended for group-based training. It is designed to be used as a template for mine instructors to modify based on the refuge alternatives and specifics of their mine. Background Information: Refuge chambers are portable chambers that are either made of steel or are tents that inflate from a steel skid. They provide water, food, toilet, breathable air, and a seal to protect occupants from the outside environment for at least 96 hours, or 4 days. Although states and mines refer to underground refuges by different names, this guide will refer to those nearest to the face as refuge chambers, whether inflatable from a skid or constructed from steel. Other popular terms for refuge chambers are rescue shelters and refuge shelters. Refuges that are toward the mine entrance or shaft, whether a pre-fabricated refuge chamber or one built into a crosscut, will be referred to as outby refuges because of their location in the mine. Outby refuges can be permanent, semi-permanent, or portable and are usually located at every other self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) cache. Outby refuges are sometimes called hardened rooms, outby shelters, and in-place shelters. The term \"refuge alternatives\" is used to describe both refuge chambers and outby refuges. This training is designed to encompass both outby and inby refuge alternatives. Purpose: The purpose of this training presentation is to teach underground miners about refuge alternatives. Refuge alternatives are a technology that may be new to miners. This training is intended to provide miners with an introduction to refuge alternatives","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082176020720,"sku":"2940013063129","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013063129_p0.jpg?v=1763576494","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013063129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
