Abstract: Mining laws in developed countries require trained, equipped mine rescue personnel to be available at all mining operations at surface and underground mining operations. Mine rescue teams must know the procedures used to rescue miners trapped by various hazards, including fire, explosions, cave-ins, toxic gas, smoke inhalation, and water entering the mine. Most mine rescue teams are composed of miners who know the mine and are familiar with the mine machinery they may encounter during the rescue, the layout of workings and geological conditions and working practices. Local and state governments may have teams on call ready to respond to mine accidents. In our paper we have presented some of the newest training methods in countries where mine rescue has more than 100 years history. Also we have presented a few researches made by our collective in 2012 - 2014 year with heart rate monitors and GPS sport watches over 21 mine rescuers trained in the Laboratory for Risk-Rescue Operations of the INCD INSEMEX.
