Training for Safety in Emergencies: Inoculating for Underground Coal Mine Emergencies

摘要

The principles of inoculation theory can be used for emergency safety training for miners as well as for workers in other high-risk industries. Trainers with content expertise should be able to apply these principles and practice using the tools. Although the main example focused on training miners for incidents involving refuge chambers at underground coal mines, other mine emergency response groups such as command center personnel and mine rescue teams, along with workers in high-risk industries, firefighters, police and other first responders, could benefit from using these principles to prepare for emergencies.
