Proposed design fire scenarios for underground hard rock mines

Given the complexity and uniqueness of underground hard rock mines, application design fire scenario approach is recommended when evaluating safety in mines. Providing a full set scenarios – ensuring that several important life aspects are covered for mine can be challenging. The question whether catalogue potential clusters could developed, covering found underground? general lack research into fires mining industry, this paper provides unique analysis Taking advantage different diverse data sources, comprehensive with holistic character provided where proposed analyses what criteria to apply presented. suitable highlights toxicity emitted smoke decrease visibility as underground. focus on influencing parameters such behaviour, position fire, load, spread. will provide key tool protection measures an mine.
