Grace Industries Inc. has been in the business of solving life safety problems for over 30 years. We design and manufacturer a complete line of safety devices and systems for the fire service, law enforcement agencies, corrections, and industry. Recently we entered the mining industry with a line of MSHA Certified Mine Rescue Alarms™ that are certain to enhance the safety of all mining personnel.

By the very nature of their jobs, miners could find themselves in a hostile environment on any given day. At a minimum, personnel in these high risk situations should have the life safety benefit of a Mine Rescue Alarm™ (MRA™) to alert help immediately.

Additionally, the MRA™ can be used as an audible and visual 'bread crumb trail' to assist rescue personnel to determine the location of trapped miners.

We specialize in the design of robust, high reliability equipment that will withstand the rigors of mining, tunneling and similar high risk occupations.

Grace Industries offers a complete line of MRA's for miners, maintenance personnel, inspectors, Mine Rescue Teams or anyone who enters a mine, tunnel or hazardous confined space and might need to summon help. Please see the examples of our MRA™ models listed.

 

MRA™ Model AB - Audio Beacon 72 Hour Alarm

An Audible and Visual Beacon that will alarm for 72 hours. The MRA™AB Model is the ideal choice where the potential for a protracted emergency exists and the lack of motion feature is not desired. When an emergency occurs, the wearer simply pushes the Alarm Button, causing the device to sound its alarm for up to 72 continuous hours. Other AB Models can be stored in each 'Cache' where they can be activated and dropped to establish a 'breadcrumb' trail for rescue personnel to follow. In addition to the loud, audible alarm, ultra-bright LEDs will pulse and strobe, giving rescue personnel a visual beacon to track in low-light conditions.

MRA™ Model M - Manual Operation 60 sec. Alarm

The MRA™Manual Operation Model M was specifically designed for Mining and Tunneling Operations for the wearer who needs to control the on/off status of the device manually. The MRA™ Model M is a new generation Mine Rescue Alarm™ that sounds a loud easily recognized signal approximately 60 seconds after the wearer becomes motionless.This unique device incorporates an innovative mechanical design with advanced data processing circuitry to bring you the most reliable and rugged Mine Rescue Alarm available. In units so equipped, a temperature sensor sounds three audio beep tones when excessively high temperatures are experienced. ( The MRA™ Model M is also available in 30, 90, and 120 second lack of motion alarm times)

MRA™ Model A - Auto-On Operation 60 sec. Alarm

The MRA™ Model A is designed to be automatically activated into the 'Sensing Mode' (motion sensing mode)turned 'ON' when removed from the MRATM storage position, whether it is a transportation or a fixed storage position.When removed from the storage position, the tether will tighten and the Tally Key will automatically pop off. If the tether is not anchored, the wearer can simply pull on the tether and the Tally Key will pop off. The Tally Key can then be given to the Safety Officer to be placed on the Tally Board for accountability and storage until the wearer returns to the point of entry. The Tally Key has an adjustable tether for ease of use. The tether can be adjusted from approx. 18" to 36" in length. This allows for easy utilization for anchoring. Tally Keys are available with various length tethers to facilitate various operational needs. ( The MRA™ Model A is also available in 30, 90, and 120 second lack of motion alarm times)

An added benefit of the new Grace system is the Tally Key. The clear Identification Window located on the front of the key provides the opportunity for specific identity of the MRATM user through the ability to personalize keys with pictures, names, numbers, dept. ID, bar-codes, etc. The clear access window easily snaps into place to protect the enclosed information and provide instant access for quick ID should the need arise. Information in the Identification Window can easily be changed by partially popping the ID window out with a small, flat blade screwdriver through the access slot located on the back side of the Tally Key.

By using a proprietary light multiplying principal that offers high visibility from all directions, personnel can be spotted up to one mile away. These small light weight Lite Tackers® are certified intrinsically safe to UL 913 for use in Class 1 Div 1 hazardous environments.

E-STOP™ - The Personal Distress Alarm

Worker pushes the E-STOP™ Distress Alarm! Grace E-STOP™ Distress Alarm sets off a strobe light in cab, signaling driver immediately shuts down moving truck! Worker can now move safely out the path of the backing truck.

For strip mining and quarry operations where the potential for large equipment running over personnel is a reality, the Grace E Stop is a simple cost effective solution that will stop these accidents in their tracks. All personnel workin on the ground are equipped with a small lightweight distress alarm that, when activated , sets off a bright strobe light in the cab of the heavy equipment. The operator applies the brakes and a fatal accident is avoided.
