mines. Refuge stations are special places provided in an underground coal mine for use in emergencies and where miners can shelter until it is either safe to escape or until they are rescued. They can be pre-planned and either semi-permanent or temporary or even unplanned (e.g. in the flooding at Que Creek mine in Pennsylvania, USA in 2002).

 — Using adaptive ant colony algorithm and MATLAB software to simulate local roadway of a coal mine domestic, this paper gets the shortest path in mine emergency rescue system, which is more reasonable and less time needed. Finding the shortest path is an important issue of coal mine emergency rescue. In this paper, based on Analytic …

 — The San Juan Coal Mine lies beneath the New Mexico Desert over 500 feet down. Men and women work inside tunnels that stretch for miles. In one tunnel, a few miners operate a conveyor belt.

Emergency refuge forms an integral part of an underground mine's wider Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Fires, explosions, rock-falls, flooding and the release of smoke and other forms of toxic gas are the types of incidents that occur all too frequently, despite the high levels of planning and the safety precautions in place.
