Mine Refuge

The Strata Airdoc Change over station


The Strata AIRDOC Change-Over Station is a transitional station that offers miners a non-toxic environment in which to rest, recover and exchange SCSR  (Self-contained rescue device = portable oxygen source) units during evacuation of the mine. In an emergency; it's a transitional station that offers the miners a non toxic environment in which to rest recover and exchange SCSR  units during evacuation of the mine.   


It is important to remember that: not all the mines have a refuge like this one and sometimes the evacuation must be ASAP = no time for get into the refuge to change SCSR. the good thing about this is: this is a station where the help is immediately.
