Essential Evacuation Systems for Mine Safety
The mining industry is inherently hazardous, with miners facing a constant risk of fires, explosions, roof falls, and flooding. These dangers make it crucial for mining companies to prioritise safety and implement comprehensive emergency preparedness plans. A critical component of such plans is the installation of effective evacuation systems that can help miners escape safely and quickly in the event of an emergency.
Frontline® Fire Detection System
The Frontline® Fire Detection System is an innovative early warning system that utilises a non-toxic fragrance to alert miners of potential fires. This system detects smoke and releases a powerful fragrance into the mine’s intake airflow system. The fragrance travels along the intake airways at the same speed as the airflow, reaching the working sections and warning miners up to 1000 meters away from the fire’s origin.
Lifeline® Directional Rope Guidance System
In the event of low-visibility conditions during an emergency, the Lifeline® Directional Rope Guidance System provides miners with a reliable means of escape. This system consists of a series of angle-directional cones fixed to a braided rope mounted on the mine’s rock face. The cones guide miners towards safety, even in the absence of light or visual cues.
Refuge Bay Kits
Refuge Baysprovide miners with a safe haven in the event of an emergency . Our refuge bay kits provide LED directional signs to the refuge bay, a siren and flashing light for the refuge bay entrance, and a fan to ventilate the refuge bay.
