Selected aspects from monitoring mine rescuers´ exposure to heat
Pavelek, Zdeněk
The responses of mine rescuers in worsened microclimatic conditions are among the most arduous and risky operations undertaken by mine rescue crews. The standard method of monitoring mine rescuers´ exposure to heat consists of manually measuring the temperature (relative humidity) of the mine atmosphere both en route and on site and further, of monitoring the actual physical condition of mine rescuers by measuring their pulse rate. From the measurement of the temperature (relative humidity) in the mine atmosphere, the duration of responses without wearing breathing apparatuses, or when wearing them, can subsequently be determined by means of tabulated values. New trends in monitoring the mine rescuers´ exposure to heat mainly accentuate continuous evaluation of the current physical condition of every individual mine rescuer in action, while this evaluation is based on continuous measurement of the physiological quantities of physical organism. This method of monitoring mine rescuers´ exposure to heat represents a significant improvement in safety when guiding responses of mine rescue services during mining activity in underground mines.
