Success Story
You are the facilitator for the MSHA training
workshop. For your case study, you are using the
mine rescue teams recovery operations at the
Scotia Mine, KY, of March, 1976. In the middle
of this case study discussion, one participant
(John Doe) gets upset and challenges you by
saying Investigators concluded that the
explosion of March resulted from inadequate
ventilation. The first explosion killed 15
miners. The second explosion occurred during the
rescue operations and killed 11 rescuers
including three Mine Enforcement and Safety
Administration (MESA) inspectors. This is too
much and too risky!

• As a facilitator, your response is
• Too bad, John. There is absolutely nothing I
  can do. Its your responsibility. So, lets get
  back to our training.
• I can see why you are upset, John. Whatever
  the problem is, we can work on it together. Allow
  me to explain The operation of electric
  equipment that was not maintained and contained
  components
