Today’s training …
Included content relevant to mine rescue team members
Covered knowledge and skills needed during a real mine emergency
Reinforced knowledge and skills I learned during previous mine rescue training
Made me more confident that I could correctly bench a BG4 during a real mine emergency
Helped prepare me to handle a real mine emergency
Helped prepare me for a benching competition
Motivated me to learn more about benching a BG4
Motivated me to be generally more prepared for mine emergencies
Helped me learn something that could be helpful during a real mine emergency
Gave me new ways to think about benching a BG4
I would recommend this training to…
Mine rescue team benchmen
Any mine rescue team member
Anyone who had a genuine interest in mine rescue
Other miners who I work with
Objectives of the exercise were appropriate and clearly defined
I understood the directions for the exercise
The exercise is a good supplement to other mine rescue training
The training mode helped me better prepare for the timed mode
Having both modes (rather than one or the other) was useful
Training in a virtual environment is a good supplement to training in a real life environment
More virtual reality exercises like this should be developed

9. On a scale from 1 to 10, rate how difficult or easy it was for you, by the end of the exercise, to do the following.

Place an “X” in the appropriate box.	Very Difficult								Very Easy
Find where your mouse cursor was on the screen.	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Select a specific part of the virtual BG4	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Zoom in and out on a specific part	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Toggle between different parts (i.e., switch from inspecting one part to another part)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
