Is the air safe to breathe? Are there toxic gases or low oxygen levels? How do we know it’s safe? In this video, we answer these important questions and demonstrate the safety equipment we use to ensure we stay safe when exploring mines—especially those that are old and often contain low oxygen levels or dangerous gases. We cover: How we monitor air quality using specialized equipment like oxygen meters, gas detectors, and multi-gas sensors. Our personal safety practices, including how we identify low oxygen levels and take action when we encounter poor air conditions underground. Real-life examples from a recent exploration of an abandoned gold mine, where we had to deal with low oxygen levels and discuss how we stayed safe. Safety is always our top priority when we’re exploring these historic and sometimes hazardous sites, and we hope this video gives you some insight into how we mitigate risks and ensure that we're breathing good, safe air.
