10 Pair Emergency Phone Box
This 10 Pair Emergency Phone Box was developed as an outcome of a risk assessment conducted on emergency response in underground mining.
It was identified that there may be a flaw in the function of the emergency phone in an emergency situation. It has been identified that in some cases there was not a designated outlet to plug a phone into, this would require a member of the Emergency Response Team be an electrician with a working knowledge of the connection point and wire colours in that section of the mine order to connect and use the phone. This is not likely if records are poor. Major Mining Technologies have designed this enclosure with a dedicated connection point to the emergency phone. We have also added an isolation switch for the purpose of disconnecting the emergency phone pair inbye.
In the event of a collapse or fire and the emergency phone twisted pair become compromised the phone will not operate if shorted. The keyed isolation switch ensures that any outbye pair has not been switched open without the relevant safety personal knowledge. Design modifications are quite easily implemented to site component requirements.

Oil Drum Lid Tool
The Oil Drum Lid Tool was created out of frustration with the ability to undo the lids on 10 and 20 litre oil drums underground. As oil id a high volume consumable in the under ground environment.
Using not for purpose tools to open the drums such as screw drivers and shifters creates a safety concern. Not to mention most times the destruction of the oil drum lid when opening, this in turn creates a potential contamination of the oil. In addition the potential environmental damage caused by broken unsealed containers, is quite significant.
This tool easily fits onto the lid, the knurled inner edge grabs quickly and firmly allowing in most cases hand operation, otherwise a shifter could be used without destroying the lid. Thus removing any risk of environmental contamination.

Lockout Bracket & lockout cover
This was designed in an effort to streamline the installation process of the Austdac Dac lockouts or the Ampcontrol Pullkey system being installed onto outbuy, longwall or development belt structure legs or stringers. The current systems usually involve bolting the lockout to a plate, then the plate connects to the structure and the plates and structures differ between belts and mines. This lockout bracket is a universal module that can cater to various products and various belt constructions and sizes by simply rotating and flipping the bracket. The Dac cover is designed to fit over the bracket to provide some level of environmental protection and can be manufactured with clear butcher door style flaps.
