Title: The impact of natural hazards on work safety in coal and cooper mines in Poland over the period 2012-2016
Over the past century coal miner safety and health has seen tremendous improvements, the fatality and injury rates continue to decrease while productivity continues to increase. Many of the hazards that plagued miners in the past, such as coal bumps, methane and coal dust explosions, ground fall accidents and health issues have been significantly reduced. Nevertheless natural hazards make the most serious danger for present-day mines and have a crucial effect on miners’ safety. This paper briefly describes the impact of natural hazards on work safety in coal and cooper mines in Poland over the period 2012-2016 with emphasis on recent events that have caused the high number of fatalities and the progress in mine safety in the Polish cola and cooper mines.
