4.6 This guide can be used to evaluate a training document or program to determine if its content includes the topics necessary for training an abandoned or inactive mine SAR team member.
4.7 This guide does not stand alone and must be used with the referenced documents to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of an abandoned or inactive mine SAR team member.
4.8 Because SAR operations in and around abandoned or inactive underground mines are inherently hazardous, regional and national safety standards shall be included in the policies and procedures of the AHJ.
4.9 Practitioners shall complete all activities based on a sound analysis of risk versus benefit, and shall follow all federal, tribal, state, provincial, local, regional, and other safety standards ...

Overview
ASTM F3315-18: Standard Guide for Training of Abandoned or Inactive Mine Search and Rescue Team Member establishes the minimum requirements for training personnel involved in search and rescue (SAR) operations specifically in abandoned or inactive underground mines. Published by ASTM International, this standard is crucial for developing and evaluating training programs that prepare SAR team members to safely and effectively operate in these hazardous environments. The guide applies to abandoned or inactive underground mines and does not address SAR training in surface mines, tunnels, or caves.
Key Topics
- Minimum Training Requirements: Outlines the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) necessary for team members to participate in SAR operations.
- Scope of Operations: Specifies that the standard is applicable only to underground mine rescue and excludes operations in surface mines, tunnels, or caves.
- Required Competencies:
- General land search and rescue functions
- SAR operations in hazardous, low light, and confined underground environments
- Use of personal protective equipment (PPE), rescue equipment, and atmospheric monitoring devices
- Risk assessment and adherence to local, state, and federal safety standards
- Limitations: This standard does not equip members to make mission-critical decisions independently; SAR team members must operate under qualified supervision.
- Evaluation and Certification: Training assessment methods, such as written or practical exams, are determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Certification renewal periods and validation requirements are also defined by the AHJ.
- Safety Emphasis: Strongly recommends integration with regional and national safety standards, including compliance with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and OSHA regulations.
Applications
The ASTM F3315-18 standard serves diverse stakeholders involved in underground mine rescue operations, including:
- Training Program Development: Provides a structured outline for organizations designing SAR training for abandoned or inactive mine environments.
- SAR Team Evaluation: Assists authorities in verifying whether existing or proposed training programs meet minimum competency standards for mine SAR team members.
- Incident Pre-Planning: Guides agencies in consulting experienced miners and incorporating specific hazard assessments for safer rescue operations.
- Resource Classification: Supports integration with resource classification systems (such as ASTM F1993) for land search, land rescue, and rope rescue teams in both wilderness and non-wilderness environments.
- Cross-Agency Consistency: Facilitates uniformity in training across different localities, promoting safer and more effective multi-agency response to incidents in abandoned or inactive mines.
