Risk of Death in Coal Mines

Our country is rich in coal mines. However, hundreds of people lose their lives every year due to coal mining, which is extracted from thousands of meters below the ground by human labor. Inadequate working conditions and lack of awareness among workers are among the main factors that increase the risk of death in coal mines.

What Measures Should Be Taken in Coal Mines?

It is a significant deficiency that there are still no life support rooms in coal mines as we enter 2014. The absence of oxygen masks or their expired usage periods renders them useless to workers in case of sudden mine collapses and poisoning. These accidents and deaths can be prevented through regular technical inspections and providing training to workers on this matter.
