What is Mining Safety Practices

Coal is used to generate electricity and is also a raw material in many industries. In India, the coal business is well-known for being a significant source of certain risks and negative impacts. Coal mines have larger workforces than the nuclear and oil sectors, but the dangers of mining have a significant impact on the workforce. Additionally, mining is a highly integrated sector as all underground engineering work, including installation and maintenance, is conducted by the mine's own workforce. Firedamp and coal-dust explosions, flooding, fire, and unexpected CO2 or CH4 outbursts are only a few of the hazards that have been present in the mining industry from the very beginning. Therefore, the coal miners' lives and health are at risk. Hence, an effort is made to study the occupational health and safety factors of Indian coal miners, and the WASPAS (weighted sum model [WSM] and weighted product model [WPM]) MCDM method is used to prioritize the hazards involved.
