OFR-68(3)-81 An Annotated Bibliography Of Metal And Nonmetal Mine Fire Reports - Appendix - Introduction

This appendix is composed of five sections, each of which is tabbed for ease of access. The sections are as follows: ? Fire incident report forms for underground mine fires. There is one form for each incident listed in Table II-1a. They are ordered chronologically with incident numbers corresponding to those in Table II-la. ? Fire incident report forms for surface mine fires. There is one form for each incident listed in Table II-lb. They are ordered chronologically with incident numbers corresponding to those in Table II-lb. ? Journal article report forms. There is one form for each article reviewed. They provide supplemental information to that contained in the fire incident report forms for selected fires. Index 11-14 keys the journal article report forms to the appropriate fire incident report forms. ? Non-reportable incident descriptions for underground mine fires. This is a listing of underground fires for which MSHA regulations do not require formal reports. ? Non-reportable incident descriptions for surface mines. This is a listing of surface fires for which MSHA regulations do not require formal reports. This appendix is intended to be used in conjunction with the tables and indexes contained in Volume II of this report and, as such, should be considered an integral part of Volume II. The indexes in the body of Volume II provide a means of ready reference to the underground and surface mine incident report forms. For those readers with interests other than those indexed, Tables II-la and II-1b can be used to locate specific incidents of interest. Complete incident information can then be obtained from the corresponding report forms in the first two sections of this appendix.
