... While this clearly is an MSHA responsibility, the Bureau of Mines should provide the necessary foundation by conducting research aimed at developing methodologies for testing and evaluating mine emergency plans using simulation or other appropriate techniques. The Bureau should also undertake R&D to develop specific techniques for applying system safety analysis to mine disasters.

... 24. It is essential to collect and analyze data on the medical causes of death or disability in mine disasters in order to determine the adequacy of the medical training, equipment, and procedures in the mine emergency response system, and to identify research needed to enhance the likelihood of survival for those injured in disasters.
