Where should emergency telephone numbers be posted?

Emergency telephone numbers should be posted at appropriate telephones to ensure that they are readily accessible to all personnel in case of an emergency. Placing these numbers at the location of the phones allows miners and staff to quickly refer to the numbers without leaving the area where they might need to make an emergency call. It is vital for safety protocols that individuals are able to act swiftly when an emergency arises, and having the contact information conveniently located at the telephones minimizes delays in communication.

While options such as placing numbers at the mine entrance, in break rooms, or on bulletin boards might provide some level of accessibility, they could still result in a situation where personnel may not have immediate access to the information when it is most needed. The goal is to ensure that emergency numbers are close at hand in critical areas where quick communication can make a significant difference in response times during emergencies.
