Non coal mine underground accident handling procedures and protective measures

2024-08-26

When discussing the procedures and protective measures for handling accidents in non coal mines, we first need to clarify that the operating environment of non coal mines is complex and ever-changing, involving multiple fields such as geology, machinery, electrical, ventilation, etc. Any negligence in any link may lead to serious accidents. Therefore, establishing a scientific and efficient accident handling procedure and taking comprehensive and detailed protective measures have immeasurable value in ensuring the safety of miners' lives and reducing property losses.

 

1、 Analysis of Non Coal Mine Underground Accidents Types.

There are various types of non coal mine underground accidents, mainly including collapse, permeability, fire, explosion, poisoning and suffocation, mechanical injury, electrical accidents, etc. These accidents often have the characteristics of strong suddenness, great destructive power, and difficult rescue. Understanding the characteristics and causes of various accidents is a prerequisite for developing effective disposal procedures and protective measures.

1. Collapse accident
Collapse accidents are often caused by improper mining methods, failure of support structures, or complex geological conditions. Preventive measures include strengthening geological exploration, optimizing mining design, ensuring stable support structures, and implementing effective monitoring and early warning systems.

2. Permeation accidents
Permeable accidents are common in mining areas with high groundwater levels or complex hydrogeological conditions. The key to prevention lies in establishing a sound drainage system, strengthening hydrogeological monitoring, strictly implementing the water exploration and drainage system, and regularly inspecting and maintaining drainage facilities.

3. Fire and explosion
Fire and explosion accidents are often caused by poor management of flammable and explosive materials, electrical equipment failures, or illegal operations. Preventive measures include strict control of fire sources, strengthening the management of flammable and explosive materials, ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment, and conducting regular safety training and emergency drills.

 

2、 Accident handling procedures
1. Immediately report and conduct preliminary assessment
After the accident, on-site personnel should immediately report to the mine dispatch room through emergency communication equipment, briefly explaining the type, location, casualties, and other information of the accident. At the same time, quickly organize personnel to conduct a preliminary assessment of the accident site, determine the nature, scale, and development trend of the accident, and provide a basis for subsequent rescue work.

2. Activate the emergency plan
Based on the preliminary assessment of the accident, promptly activate the corresponding emergency plan. The emergency plan should clarify the division of responsibilities, rescue routes, rescue equipment configuration, communication methods, etc. of rescue forces at all levels to ensure the orderly progress of rescue work.

3. Implement emergency rescue measures
On the premise of ensuring the safety of rescue personnel, quickly organize a professional rescue team to enter the scene of the accident, carry out search and rescue of trapped personnel, control the expansion of the accident, and eliminate secondary disasters. At the same time, strengthen coordination and cooperation with external rescue forces such as medical and fire departments to form a joint rescue force.

4. Accident investigation and aftermath handling
After the accident rescue is completed, an accident investigation team should be immediately organized to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause and responsibility of the accident, and to handle it in accordance with the law and regulations. At the same time, we will do a good job in comforting the families of the casualties, handle the aftermath properly, and restore normal production order in the mining area.

 

3、 Protective measures
1. Strengthen safety education and training
Regularly provide safety education and training to miners to enhance their safety awareness and self-protection ability. The training content should include prevention knowledge of various accidents, emergency response skills, and self rescue and mutual aid methods.

2. Improve the safety management system
Establish and improve safety production responsibility system, safety operation procedures, safety inspection system and other safety management systems to ensure effective implementation of various safety management systems. At the same time, we will strengthen safety supervision and take serious measures against violations.

3. Strengthen equipment and facility management
Regularly inspect, maintain, and upkeep mining equipment and facilities to ensure they are in good operating condition. Old and damaged equipment and facilities should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner to prevent accidents caused by equipment failures.

4. Promote the application of advanced technologies
Actively introduce and apply advanced mining technology, safety monitoring technology, and emergency rescue technology to improve the level of mine safety production. For example, using unmanned mining technology to reduce the opportunity for personnel to be directly exposed to hazardous environments; Utilizing IoT technology to achieve remote monitoring and fault warning of mining equipment.

5. Create a safety culture atmosphere
By organizing safety knowledge competitions, safety speech contests, and other activities, we aim to create a strong safety culture atmosphere. Encourage miners to actively participate in safety management activities, provide rational suggestions and opinions, and jointly contribute to the safety production of mines.

 

In short, the development and implementation of procedures and protective measures for non coal mine underground accidents is a systematic project that requires joint efforts from the government, enterprises, and all sectors of society. Only by continuously strengthening safety management, improving the quality of miners, promoting the application of advanced technology, and creating a safety culture atmosphere, can we effectively prevent and reduce the occurrence of non coal mine underground accidents, ensure the safety of miners' lives, and promote the sustainable and stable development of the mine.
