A breathable air safety system and method having at least one fill site is
disclosed. In one aspect, a method of safety of a mine structure is
disclosed. A prescribed pressure of an emergency support system is
ensured to be within a threshold range of the prescribed pressure by
including a valve of the emergency support system to prevent leakage of
breathable air from the emergency support system. The prescribed pressure
of the emergency support system is designated based on an authority
agency that specifies a pressure rating of the breathable air apparatus.
An air extraction process is expedited from the emergency support system
by including a RIC (rapid interventions company/crew)/UAC (universal air
connection) fitting to a fill panel to fill a breathable air apparatus.
