Respected Madam,
I am sending some useful attachment files regarding Mine Safety under Article "Vision Mines 2025". I think this will be interesting and useful for all. This article covers the Indian mines scenario and the post-strategy with an IT-based system.
Thanks,

Dear Hansaji,
Please see attached a guide for reference. Synopsis from the guide is:
An underground mine’s safety and health management system must provide for the self-escape of persons from the mine, or a part of the mine, to a place of safety.
The system must be developed through a risk assessment that
includes a consideration of at least the following matters—
(a) the location of devices for assisting self-escape;
(b) the number of devices, including self-rescuers, to be
distributed throughout the mine;
(c) selecting and marking the location for reserve
self-rescuers;
(d) the number and location of changeover stations and
refuges;
(e) selecting and marking escape routes;
(f) communication equipment and ways of using the
equipment;
(g) training persons in self-escape;
(h) fitness of coal mine workers.
Hope this is useful.

Dear Hansa,
What mines are these; Coal/Lignite or Metal mines? Please consult the respective DGMS offices for authentic compliances required. They have manuals for such situations, from which SOPs can be developed. Also, please consult the statutory Mines Manager (Class I and Class II) and Safety Officer, including Overman and Mining Sirdars, who are required to be fully conversant with these matters.
Warm regards.
