New Way To Train Command Center Leaders
Internet-based computer simulationPasses on “lessons learned” from past mine emergenciesPast research: interviews; literature analysis; investigations of mine emergencies; merds/mocks

Training Command Center Leaders
Teaches the importance of planning and preparation
Allows learning, no-risk practicing, and testing of mine emergency decision-making and leadership skills
Emergencies rare; workforce aging

Trainee Evaluation ResultsMost believed it helped them to know how to prepare for real emergency
Most believed storyline was “realistic” or “very realistic”
All believed it helped them learn how to better handle real emergency
None were bored during simulation
