Expert Rescue & Training services
Providing worldwide expert mine rescue and specialised training.
We provide and train a number of mine dedicated rescue teams. These teams ensure there is an immediate rescue presence available at the host mine, and the team members are extremely familiar with the environment in which any rescue may take place. Backup for these teams in the event of a serious or protracted incident is provided by neighbouring dedicated or mutual aid teams.
Where rescue provision is required, by likelihood of incident is low, such as disused or re-purposed storage mines, dedicated teams are often not viable. As such, UKMR train and provision a number of mutual aid teams, where the teams are made up by the members of a number of mines. Rescue equipment is centralised and rescue vehicles available to ensure swift response to any incident amongst the member mines.
Initial mine rescue team training is regularly undertaken to train new members into the teams, and provide them with all the skills required effect a rescue. Team members then undergo continual training throughout the year. UKMR also provide external training in a range of subjects including rescue, confined spaces, first aid.
Ensuring the right equipment is available and in good working order for a rescue is vital. UKMR are able to supply, test and maintain rescue equipment whether that is for use of their own teams or others.
UKMR operate a number of specialist, blue light rescue vehicles each equipped with sufficient equipment to immediately undertake a rescue in an irrispirable atmosphere. Onboard equipment can then be replenished from our various rescue stores.
With the wealth of knowledge and skills within the teams, UKMR are often called upon to consult on safety, mining, training and rescue topics.
