The project seeks to determine optimal use of virtual reality (VR) technologies for training and assessing mine emergency responders using the Mine Rescue and Escape Training Laboratory (MRET Lab). Research activities involving rank-and-file underground coal miners who participate in the mine escape training may occur at either the MRET Lab or in an off-site classroom or other typical instructional setting at an above-ground mine safety training facility, mine administration building, or a university or academic environment (classroom setting). Having these subsamples allows us to assess uses for VR training applications, determine the additive value of training provided in the MRET Lab, and the benefits of adapting simulation-based mine emergency training to a broader audience. To accommodate mine escape participants for the MRET Lab modules and classroom settings, we request adding 60 participants to our 150 participant cap, leaving us with 30 BG4 participants, 60 mine rescue participants (MRET Lab), 60 mine escape participants (MRET Lab), and 60 mine escape participants (classroom setting), for a total of 210 participants.

Burden increase is due to adding two subsamples to the study to allow NIOSH to better assess uses for virtual reality training applications, determine value of training in the Mine Rescue and Escape Training Lab, and benefits of adapting simulation-based mine emergency training to a broader audience.
