Make It Safer With Roof Screen

Using extensive underground footage, the 7-minute video shows how well screen keeps loose rock from falling in difficult roof conditions. Techniques for installing screen from both outsidecontrolled and walk-thru roof bolting machines are shown. The video also provides safe handling tips, best practices, and information about machine technology that can greatly improve material handling. An instructional booklet supplements the video with additional information. It presents compelling data from mines that have practically eliminated rock fall injuries with a roof screening program. Other sections of the booklet discuss in greater detail roof screen installation, tips for manual screen handling, a material handling system for roof screen, and use of the personal bolter screen, which can be easily handled by one person.

Great Video!!!

I've used and bolted this screen many times before. It works very well....

Watching this video really makes me miss the mines even more... I was laid off in april along with many others in my area.

I really hope Coal prices and production picks back up in my area.. I miss it so much.
