Mining Safety System

This book mainly focusses on a safety system for workers in mining industry. Mining is the process of extracting valuable minerals from the earth. There are about 11 coal mines, 13 iron ore mines, 9 bauxite (aluminum ore) mines, 5 manganese mines, 5 copper mines, 3 diamond mines and 2 gold mines in India. In mining industry there is a high safety risk due to problems like mine ventilation, danger from hazardous gases, incidents like rock fall and head injuries. Some small incidents often occur in the mining industry but two major mining hazards that occurred in India lead to think about the safety of miners more deeply. The Chasnala mining disaster killing 372 miners and the Jharkhand coal mine incident that killed 11 miners and trapped over 50. Thus, a safety device is necessary to protect miners and rescue them even in case of such incidents.
