The committee believes that a systems approach integrating specific equipment and procedures with disaster plans, disaster training programs, and evaluations of the effectiveness of the response to each disaster and potential disaster, would lead to improved prospects for miners surviving a catastrophic accident. The committee believes this approach should be reflected in the R&D program addressing postdisaster survival and rescue, and the majority of the recommendations offered in this report are directed toward that end.
