Self Contained Self Rescuer and Lamp Room Management

The lamp room is a critical safety hub where cap lamps, gas monitors and self contained self rescuers are issued, charged and tracked. This programme equips lamp room and safety teams to manage these life saving devices, from daily checks to failure investigation. Delegates learn to run a disciplined issue and return system that supports underground accountability.
