A squad of mine rescuers, including command staff, was sent to the site of the alleged accident. During the exercises, special equipment was used - a vehicle for delivering VGSCh departments and a fire truck.
During the exercise, the theoretical knowledge of the training participants, the efficiency and consistency of actions of shift supervisors, excavator drivers and enterprise workers - members of the auxiliary mine rescue team (AMC), and their team interaction were assessed. Also during the training, the operation of a fire truck with a fire monitor, controlled remotely from the driver’s cab, was demonstrated.
