Emergency Preparedness Center
Established in 1992, The Emergency Preparedness Center is dedicated to preparing coal miners to handle emergency conditions. Mine fire safety, confined space operations, industrial firefighting, hazardous materials awareness and mine rescue team training is provided. Our programs consists of not only classroom instruction, but also the more important hands-on exercises.
This emergency preparedness training is conducted either at the Mine Simulation Laboratory at the National Mine Health & Safety Academy in Beckley, WV or at a company's site using our specially-designed mobile training vehicle, The Truck.
This vehicle is equipped with a changeable smoke maze (confidence maze) for SCBA practice and confined space drills. Practical hands-on extinguisher and hose experience can be provided by the use of remotely-controlled fire pans, also a feature of the Truck.
We can provide on-site audits of your company's fire readiness and adjust the training exercises to meet your needs. Don't let a fire emergency shut down your operation. Be ready for tomorrow's emergency by preparing today. Contact us for scheduling or for more information.
