What could be the most common reason of casualties that are taking place every year in underground mines? There may be several issues which require to be addressed but can any corrective measure always ensure 100% safety? Here comes the necessity of an efficient and easy to handle rescuer for injured miners during any unexpected accident to bring him or her to a medic in quickest possible time. Rescue station for miners is a tool that resembles that of the appearance and functionalities of a wheelbarrow and contains a range of rescue equipments in-built that may be helpful for rescuing a wounded mine worker. Not only the injured persons, this concept also ensures the safety of the co-workers who attempts to rescue the injured with the same machineries that they are working and get harmed too. The concept comprises the basic first aid kit along with basic tools to attend an injured miner such as lifting bags, breather, oxygen cylinder, defibrillator, etc so that the rescuer...

Water accident happens all the time. Unfortunately even thought with great rescue systems we have at the moment, sometimes, they are unable to reach the victim in a timely fashion. For this reason, Samuel Adeloju, an industrial designer , designed “Longreach”. It is a portable water-activated conveyance system that turns into a buoyancy device to help victims from drowning situation. This device is designed to help victims to remain buoyant while rescue personnel prepare the appropriate response to the situation. Once this rescue unit contacts the water, it uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy. This allows the package to be vastly smaller in size than any currently existing buoyancy device. The project is designed in three components; the rescue package, the propulsion system and the storage mount. The rescue package uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy once the package contacts the water. This allows the package to be v...
