Dangers of Underground Mining

🔍 Miners in underground mining are exposed to dangerous levels of noise, lack of natural light, and insufficient ventilation.

⚠️ Accidents can occur at any stage of the mining process, and there are design risks that need to be considered when selecting the extraction method.

🛠️ Proper infrastructure, including ventilation, fortification, and spatial distribution, is crucial for minimizing critical risks in underground mining.

🔍 The key factors that contribute to mining accidents are human factors, mechanization of equipment, and environmental conditions.

🔥 Three risks associated with underground mining are fires caused by welding, wooden fortification, and coal dust.

🛡️ The use of a special protective device called an auto rescuer is recommended in case of fire inside the mine.

🔍 The use of auto rescuers is restricted to environments with a minimum of 19.5% oxygen and without toxic gases or vapors.

💥 Rock explosions in underground mining occur due to rock instability and poor blasting design.

🚗 Only diesel vehicles should be used in underground mines to avoid common risks such as collisions, overturning, and sliding equipment.

💣 Explosives should be handled with caution and under specific regulations.

🔒 The risks associated with underground mining operations include handling explosives, storage, transportation, and blast preparation.

⚠️ Safety measures such as using safety harnesses and safety nets are necessary for personnel working in underground mines.

💨 Compressed air is essential for powering pneumatic equipment in underground mines.

⚠️ The dangers associated with underground mining include projectile particles, high noise levels, and potential water accumulation leading to soil instability.

💥 Physical risks in underground mining range from minor injuries to fatal accidents, with trauma being the main concern.

🔇 Professional deafness can result from various mining activities such as drilling, blasting, and crushing.

🌡️ Dehydration is a risk in underground mining due to increasing air temperature and higher barometric pressure at depth.

🔍 There are hygienic risks associated with underground mining, such as the presence of crystalline silica in rocks, which can lead to silicosis and other health issues.

💣 Explosive gases like methane and carbon dioxide pose a serious risk in underground mining, requiring constant monitoring.

⚒️ Although efforts are being made to reduce risks in underground mining through new technologies and worker training, it remains a dangerous occupation.
