What items are included in the escape kit?

The escape kit is designed specifically for use in emergency situations, particularly in confined spaces such as coal mines. It includes essential items that aid in navigating and ensuring safety during an evacuation. The inclusion of a chalk light is critical, as it provides visibility in dark conditions; the tag line is useful for marking the path or guiding individuals to safety; a map helps in understanding the layout of the mine and planning the fastest exit route; a hammer can be used for breaking obstacles or securing lines; and gloves provide protection against sharp edges or rough surfaces.

These items combined allow for a strategic and safer approach to escaping a potentially hazardous environment. The focus here is on immediate survivability and effective navigation rather than broader rescue operations or communication, which is why the other options do not fit the criteria of an escape kit as closely as these items do.
