  Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion (1 hour)

 Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion (1 hour)
On the day after Easter in 2010, the Upper Big Branch Mine exploded, resulting in the death of 29 miners during a routine shift change. Despite a safety culture, production pressures caused shortcuts. We will explore:
• Our ISQO Safety Culture, and if we would choose to be less than truthful to maintain production
• The importance of maintenance on routinely used equipment, especially that equipment that makes the money…. balancing production vs. production capability
• How we need each other to maintain our safety awareness
