Safety Measurements and Risk Assessment of Coal Mining

Safety is a legal requirement of mining industry. Effective safety measurements and risk management can serve the mine administration to lessen the dangers recognized in the mine. Autonomous technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models have been integrated with the mining industry to ensure a safe working environment since a decade ago in the form of

ASSESSING THE SAFETY CULTURE OF UNDERGROUND

Office of Mine Safety and Health Research, Pittsburgh, PA INTRODUCTION In recent years, coal mining safety has attained national attention due to several highly publicized disasters. Despite these threats to worker safety and health, the U.S. relies on the mining of coal to meet its need for electrical power, with42% of electricity in the U.S

Coal miners' dilemma - American Psychological Association

Plus, the coal-mining pay is good — $80,000, sometimes up to $100,000 a year. Compare that with the pay at Wal-Mart, a fifth of that at best, and factor in that mining is a family tradition, and the choice begins to make sense. For some, there is also a thrill to descending deep below the earth’s surface and facing danger, says Blair

Exploring the impacts of factors contributing to unsafe

Jun 01, 2019 Besides, Seo et al. (2015) developed a comprehensive safety-behavior- influencing model based on organizational factors and individual factors, concluded that there exits complex relationship between those factors via structural equation model. While, in the coal mining industry, the complexity of the nature of work results in the diversity of

Frontiers | Mining Employees Safety and the Application of

Background: Though the introduction of modern safer underground coal mining methods and automation, mine accidents still cause loss of lives, time, and money. This paper aims to analyze in detail the causes of safety and environmental issues in the coal mining industry, as well as the impact of IoT on coal mining.Method: A systematic review was conducted. A comprehensive search involving Web

A simulation experiment study to examine the effects of

Feb 09, 2021 Noise pollution in coal mines is of great concern. Personal injuries directly or indirectly related to noise occur from time to time. Its effects impact the health and safety of coal mine workers. This study aimed to identify if and how the level of noise impacts miners’ safety behavior in underground coal mines. In order to study the influence of noise on miners in the mining industry, we

Experimental investigation on rockburst behavior of the

May 05, 2020 Li, D. Q. Mining thin sub-layer as self-protective coal seam to reduce the danger of coal and gas outburst. Natural Hazards 71 (1), 41–52 (2014). Article Google Scholar

A new approach modeling permeability of mining-disturbed

Although many permeability models have been proposed in last few decades to characterize the permeability evolution in poroelastic coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs, none of the existing model is capable of defining the failure-involved coal permeability behavior which is the common situation for deep coal in-seam boreholes and over matured CBM reservoirs

(PDF) Influence of Roof/Floor Interface on Coal Pillar

A yielding coal pillar is generally modeled as a nonlinear strain-softening material using a function of plastic strain to soften the cohesion and friction [27][28] [29] [30][31]. e parameters of

The Environmental Impact of Mining (Different Mining

May 27, 2020 Mining remains an essential and growing part of the modern industry. By some estimates, it makes up nearly 45% of the total global economy, and mineral production continues to increase as demand for raw materials grows around the world.. However, many mining techniques still in use can have serious impacts on both the mining site itself and the surrounding environment

Quantification study of working fatigue state affected by

The bad emotions generated by the coal mine noise will cause significant changes in the physiological indicators, which will affect the behavior of the participants and make the reaction time of emergencies becomes longer (Tian et al., 2017). Jing et al. (2017) suggested that coal mine noise has an impact on the attention of miners. The number

Modeling of Methane and Air Velocity Behavior in an

airflow behavior in an auxiliary ventilated coal heading in the Kozlu coal mine by using the CfD method. therefore, this created a numerical model that solves the fluid field (velocity, pressure and concentration). Experimental data is measured with an anemometer and methane gas detector to obtain real values to validate the model. 2

Risk Assessment of Miners' Unsafe Behaviors: A Case

China's coal mine production situation is grim and various types of accidents occur frequently, and gas explosion accidents are the highest incidence of coal mine accidents. The authors selected 200 gas explosion accidents of coal mine enterprises in recent years, and extracted a large number of workers' unsafe behaviors

Evaluating Targeted Intervention on Coal Miners'

Miners' unsafe behavior is the main cause of roof accidents in coal mines, and behavior intervention plays a significant role in reducing the occurrence of miners' unsafe behavior. However, traditional behavior intervention methods lack pertinence. In order to improve the intervention effect and red

A model of unsafe behavior in coal mines based on

Jan 01, 2013 A general mathematical model of coal miners’ unsafe behavior has been established from the perspective of behavioral game theory to find new ways of quantitatively studying coal mine safety management practice. This model is based on the above discussion and uses a relative theoretical model for reference , . It refers to staff choice in behavior, coal mine monitoring, and
