Purpose: Ability to take proper actions and decisions when a hazardous situation occurs is crucial for safety of employees affected by this situation. In a coal mine, this regards both miners and mine rescuers. Providing them with effective training on hazards is a challenge, as these are difficult or impossible to simulate or recreate for training purposes, at real working sites or at training facilities. Application of VR seems to be a solution, as it enables to develop a virtual representation of working environments as well as actions and phenomena happening there. The paper focuses on the use of VR in the training of mine rescuers and concept of such training is proposed. Applicable possibilities, limitations and recommendations are also presented and taken into account in the concept. Design/methodology/approach: Literature studies were carried out: 1) to identify possibilities to VR integration in the training of mine rescuers resulting from legal regulations, 2) to identify applicable methods, recommendations and findings presented in scientific publications. The proposal for use of virtual reality in the training of mine rescuers was described taking into account: the training procedure, observation in the VR-aided training, the training materials. Findings: Researches presented in scientific publications support the idea to VR integration in the training, however – to make it more effective - the trainee should be accompanied by a trainer. Analysis of Polish legal regulations regarding training of mine rescuers reveals that there is no formal barrier for VR integration in the training, however carrying out actions in virtual reality cannot replace the mandatory practical exercises. Research limitations/implications: The concept of VR integration in the training of mine rescuers takes into account possibilities and limitations established by Polish legislation. Practical implications: It is allowed to integrate VR in mandatory training of mine rescues. Originality/value: VR integration in mandatory training of Polish mine rescuers has not been described so far in scientific papers. The paper is addressed to: 1) persons managing mining plants, 2) managers of mining rescue stations, 3) managers of mining supervision authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
