MSHA DEADLINE APRIL 30

MSHA has set an April 30 deadline for ordering SCSR training units.  CSE Corporation offers two affordable options.

The new SR-MP includes a mouthpiece, nose clip, and training cartridge, and it provides breathing resistance and heat for 10 minutes.  It offers a similar experience to that of the company’s popular SR-100, the one-hour SCSR worn on the belts of most miners in the industry.  The SR-MP retails for $24.35.

The SR-T provides breathing resistance and heat for 15-25 minutes and includes a mouthpiece, nose clip, training cartridge, canister and a carry pouch.  The complete SR-T training unit retails for $179.

Meet MSHA’s deadline and place your order today by calling CSE at 1.800.245.2224.




CSE’s response to the NIOSH report

In October 2006, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) issued a report assessing the functionality of Self-Contained Self Rescuers (SCSRs). The following is CSE’s response to the findings outlined in the institute’s report.

"There have been numerous tests conducted regarding Self-Contained Self-Rescuers…MSHA, NIOSH, state governments, the industry. If our industry has learned anything from these tests, two things became very clear.

"First, everyone agrees the field testing needs to be revised because no one is using the same protocols which leads to inconsistent data that does not paint an accurate picture and is helpful to no one.

"The most important finding is that when these SR-100s are taken care of properly and miners have been trained on how to use them, they save lives.  The real tragedy is lives will not be saved when SR-100s are not properly cared for or miners aren’t adequately trained.  We must all come together - the mining industry, the state and the federal government - to make sure that when a miner walks into that mine, they have a full-functioning SR-100 and they know how to use it.  Care of the SR-100s and training of the miners must be the main focus. Miner safety is CSE’s top priority." – Scott Shearer, President
