Abstract

The consensus study report, Improving Self‐Escape from Underground Coal Mines (National Research Council, 2013), recommended detailed task analysis of the tasks that miners must perform to successfully self-escape during an emergency in an underground coal mine. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) funded a study to accomplish this work. This paper focuses on the cognitive task analysis (CTA) portion of this effort. We discuss the methods we used and results-based recommendations to enhance the likelihood that miners can successfully escape from underground emergencies.
