Abstract. Unfortunately, emergency is an inherent feature of any dangerous manufacturing entity, what a coal mine is. A plenty of harmful and dangerous mining, geological and technogeneous factors with high risk of emergency occurrence acts in the mines. Therefore, personnel should be ready to reveal and eliminate such situations as soon as possible with no human losses and minimum economic damage. Conception of «zero risk» is useless for emergency situations, and minimization of «acceptable risk» is possible only on condition of correct organization of joint work of the system of against emergency protection (SAEP), plans of warning and elimination of emergencies. Today, maximum attention is paid to the liquidation of already happened failures. At the same time, most emergencies occur exactly by virtue of the fact that workers do not know or incorrectly interpret requirements of safety regulations established for the coal mines, or are not thoroughly familiar with priority actions on revealing the emergencies and requirements of the labour management system, though heavy consequences of emergencies are caused by incorrect actions of personnel or its inability to use current recommendations and the SAEP facilities. Therefore, in this work, we describe basic methodical approaches to creation and use of the first constituent of the SAEP system: preparation of its elements and training of workers on how to use them. In this article, we consider such issues as control of risk factors, specifying of measures for controlling unforeseen situations or emergencies, developing of principles for organizing work of the trouble crew, providing the personnel with necessary equipment and materials and training of methods for revealing, limitation and warning about the emergency occurred and actions to be undertaken during mobilization, deployment of special systems and after elimination of the emergency, as well as estimation and improvement of the whole system operation through the regular surveys and tests. It is concluded that readiness of personnel to the actions in emergency situations is ensured by integration of all necessary elements including creation of safety service, providing it with high-fi special equipment and regular reviews of efficiency of actions undertaken by this service.
Keywords: emergency situation, dangerous factor, coal mine, readiness to the emergency, zero risk, possible risk.
