Health Hazard In Coal Mining 1

Coal dust has also been a serious hazard in mining, causing coal workers’pneumoconiosis or ‘black lung’and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [52–69].The risks have now been largely controlled in developed nations by dust suppression, ventilation and respiratory protection [70,71]. Vigilance is, however, required to maintain effective control

Exposure to coal mine dust causes various pulmonary diseases, including coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

After consideration of the above components the mining health and safety research program was formulated through seven Strategic Goals as listed below: 1. Reduction of Respiratory Diseases: Reduce respiratory diseases in miners by reducing health hazards in the workplace associated with coal worker pneumoconiosis, silicosis, and diesel emissions 2

Abstract. This paper presents a unique hierarchical structure on various occupational health hazards including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial hazards, and associated adverse consequences in relation to an underground coal mine. The study proposes a systematic health hazard risk assessment methodology for estimating extent of hazard risk
