Although necessary, these machines can pose a risk of fire, shock, or arc flash. And the cords connected to equipment also pose a trip and fall hazard to workers. Policies should be put in place and electrical safety training should be offered to miners. Specific training may need to take place for especially dangerous machines.

Personnel Transport. Where access to a mine is by a drift or inclined shaft and rail is installed, personnel transport typically utilises a vehicle permanently attached to a winding rope with provision for seating passengers. Again this vehicle is typically used as a means of attaching other rolling stock to the winding rope and, whether set-up ...

Since 1970, NIOSH has compiled data on the prevalence of CWP in underground coal miners. The graph shows a summary of this data. In the early 1970s, the prevalence of CWP was 33% among miners working 25 or more years. The prevalence dropped to less than 5% by the late 1990s. However, since that time, CWP prevalence …

In practical operation it is difficult to control a coal fire before the goaf is sufficiently covered by slurry, which leads to the amount of grouting required being vast for successfully controlling underground mine fires. As an alternative, inert gas such as N 2 and CO 2 is injected to extinguish various fire hazards in underground mines [35 ...

The most common gas to cause underground mine explosions is methane. Methane is a colourless, odourless, highly flammable, and highly explosive noxious gas that occurs naturally and gets trapped in coal layers. Methane becomes combustible at levels between 5% and 14% in the air. All it takes is a naked flame or a spark from a machine …
