Abstract

Underground mining remains one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, and coalmining is known for its high accident rates. In this paper we aim to present an overview of safety in the extractive industry and we will present statistics on known accidents. The repeated occurrence of explosions in underground mining raises questions about the measures taken to prevent their occurrence. Hazard identification and risk analysis are necessary to identify adverse events that may lead to a hazardous situation, to analyze the mechanism by which this adverse event may occur and usually to estimate the magnitude and likelihood of effects.
