Basically, underground mining of coal has four risks: 1) collapse or cave-ins, 2) methane gas that accumulates in the coal can ignite and cause a major explosion, and 3) air from the surface needs to be pumped into the mine where people are working and this can malfunction, and 4) people can get killed in mining machinery, including …

Workplace solutions are adopted to identify, ... fires in a confined underground mine environment can produce catastrophic consequences. From 2011 through 2020, approximately 808 fires …
However, the underground mining environment adds an important complication in regard to the tag-to-reader detection range. The nominal tag/reader detection range will depend on physical locations of the readers and the tags in the mine as well as the mine geometry.
Abstract. Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but …

Within the coal mine subsample, the probability of a mine reporting a lung disease was found to be greater for underground as opposed to surface types (by 2.73 to 3.40 times) and in the Appalachian region as opposed to the remaining regions of the United States (8.00 to 9.78 times).
Introduction. The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 (Coal Act) begins with the declaration: "the first priority and concern of all in the coal mining industry must be the health and safety of its most precious resource—the miner." [] The principal goals of the Coal Act were to reduce the amount of combustible coal dust in underground mines, …
Many of the findings related to occupational exposures and adverse health outcomes presented in this chapter are based on studies of uranium and hard-rock miners (e.g., worker-based radon studies) for periods of disease risk when the magnitude of the exposures was much greater than the exposures reported at most mines and processing …
The broader light-coloured band was laid down on Sundays during coalface downtime. Sunday Stone today comprises an enduring metaphor of the mining industry, and specimens remain as a silent but permanent witness to the conditions in which millions of underground coalminers have worked and often work today.
But regardless the sector size, underground coal mining involves high risk and hard work conditions. 2. Health and safety at work in underground mining Because of the many disasters that have occurred (Table 1) and latent dangers existing in underground coal mining, the concern for ensuring health and safety at work (OHS) is paramount.
