In particular, to focus on underground coal mines and define self-escape in the context of mining emergencies; consider environmental and human-systems factors as well as technologies to understand the system in which the miners work; propose ways to improve self-escape preparations and training for mining personnel; and identify knowledge gaps where further research is needed.
