### sec.285 Fire fighting and mine rescue plan The site senior executive for an underground mine must ensure the mine has a fire fighting and mine rescue plan, complying with this section, for each of its working seams. At least 1 hard copy of the plan must be— at a scale of 1:2500; and displayed in a location where the plan is readily observable by each underground mine worker at the mine. The information shown on the plan must include the following— the extent of the mine workings and connections to the surface or workings in other seams; the location of the following— water reticulation lines in the mine together with hydrant and valve sites; fire stations and depots; ventilation control devices; atmospheric monitoring sites, stations and sampling lines; communication lines and telephones; gas drainage ranges and drainage boreholes; stored pressure vessels; the location and type of refuges; the location and contents of caches of self-rescuers; the direction of the ventilating air currents; primary escapeways. The plan must also include a longitudinal section along each extraction panel and main trunk panel showing the relationship between the underground mine workings and the surface. The plan must be amended to ensure its accuracy as soon as practicable, but not later than 1 month, after a change happens in any of the things mentioned in subsection (3) . If the mine has more than 1 working seam, at least 1 copy of the plan kept at the mine for each seam must be drawn on a transparency so the plans for the separate seams can be overlaid to show the relative locations of the workings in the seams.
