Summary
The main consequences that a mine has after a seismic event or
earthquake, it is the blockage of roads due to failure in slopes or consequence
rock fall, as in underground mining this comes from the
walls and ceiling of the tunnel, putting at risk the personnel that is present in the
area, which can negatively impact the mine.
The main consequence would be the risk to the personnel who are inside.
from the mine, the need for repairs on the roads and the losses resulting from
from the detention in production.
The location of the mine is crucial when an earthquake occurs because
it has to do with the geography of the area and the vulnerability of the land, the proximity to
rivers or streams potentially causing landslides or floods.
Introduction
The drill plan must be known by the entire organization, especially by the
workers involved in the operational process of the mine, who must be
instructed on the fundamental aspects and the procedures to be applied in
in case of emergency.
Drills must be conducted annually, in accordance with the changes that
new procedures have been produced during the period
emergency or by the implementation of new processes in the
operation. The responsibility for the review corresponds to the Operational part of
Safety and Health at Work and Environment. Its approval corresponds to
General Mine Manager.
All mine workers must have been trained on the system.

due to internal collapses.
In addition, the personnel working in the mine must have training in the
places where dangerous energies are blocked.
Objective.
Determine to analyze the staff in handling the situation
Decrease and maintain the response time to the actual situation of
emergency
Evaluate the response of the committed individuals: the injured,
firefighters, personnel who are not part of the firefighting team.
Determine the meeting points, medical safety zone, the
possible temporary shelters and triage area
Drill plan.
To carry out the drill in a mine during an earthquake or tremor, one must
must take into account all the people who work in it, who must
to be informed about the drill that will take place, determining the date and the
exact time of the event, define the planning of the activity, such as
it will be executed and how the evacuation of personnel will be carried out.
This information must be delivered to management through the drill plan
from the desk, who will give the guidelines to carry out the drill. The plan of
a desk drill will be conducted by the brigade commander
safety or the person in charge of the workers' safety in the mine.
The brigade command must be equipped with all the tools or
material that should be used in case of an emergency. Likewise, it should
to have qualified and trained personnel in emergency maneuvers; this
staff must be 20% of the workforce in the mine.
The drill.
An official record must be made documenting the drill that is going to be carried out.
the date and time of the drill and the result of the drill.
A attendance record of all the people involved must be kept.

The brigade commander will deploy his men to form groups.

Search and rescue group,
First Aid Group.
Evacuation group.
The rescue equipment on site will be used, which includes: ropes, stretchers
person fixation, harness, descenders, helmets, flashlights, whistles, equipment of
self-contained, full face mask, megaphone (note the batteries for)
spare parts), communication radios
There will be a site or area for the meeting of the evacuated people who do not

There will also be a healthcare facility where ...
I triage the classification of severity, symptoms, and health problem that
presents a patient when arriving at the emergency service and allows to define the
priority of attention, which should be located approximately 100 meters away
from the emergency site and an uncovered area that is easily accessible.
During the activity, there will be external companies that will join the drill.
Red Cross, firefighters, police, civil defense, and the ARL.
An ambulance must be present on site to transport the injured to the
hospital or health assistance center.
At the end of the drill, the counting of the evacuated personnel must be carried out.

earthquake in the underground mine.
Gather the staff who participated to inform them about the achievement in the drill and the
final report of the activities carried out, in order to subsequently make the adjustments

stay updated every year.
At the end of the drill, a written report is presented to the mine manager, where
