the prevention of methane and coal dust explosions in underground coal mines. The report is focused on rock dusting, mine dust sampling and analysis, methane and mine ventilation monitoring, rock dust inspection procedures and various types of explosion barriers. It will compare the regulatory standards and industry practices in the
Scope and Objectives of the Global Acid Rock Drainage Guide Scope. The potential for acidic drainage to form from mining has been known since at least 1556 and ARD was observed as early as 1698 associated with coal mining in Pennsylvania (BC Acid Mine Drainage Task Force, 1989).

practice is heavily regulated, especially in coal and gassy (noncoal) mines, and other statutes relate to air quantities required to dilute diesel emissions, blasting fumes, radiation, dusts, battery emis sions, and many other contaminants. To ensure adequate ventilation of a mine, provision is made for suitable paths (airways or
Kangra Coal Mine, in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. The components of the hydrological assessment include Water Quality (WQ) analysis, a Water Balance (WB), a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), a Flood Line Analysis and a Risk Assessment. The Kangra Coal Mine is situated approximately 40km from Piet Retief Town along the N2 National Road.
One of the most important rules in underground coal mining is the "no standing zone" rule, which applies to remotecontrolled continuous miners. Mineworkers had difficulty in defining the rule as outlined in a government guideline, MDG 5002.
Chamber of Mines in 1953, and finally to the Chamber of Mines of South Africa in 1967. The Coalbrook Colliery disaster, in which 435 men died, occurred in January 1960. It is the worst accident in South African mining history. The official enquiry found that there was no scientific basis for the design of pillars in coal mines, and highlighted

Rules, Regulations, Research and Resources. The Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 requires that coal mine blasting be limited based on the site conditions so as to prevent: injury to persons, damage to public or private property outside the permit area, adverse impacts on any underground mine, and change in the course, channel, or availability of surface or ground ...

This iron and coal mine started under dual Chinese and Japanese control in 1905, but the mine was in territory invaded by the Japanese and became a mine using Japanese forced labor. On April 26, 1942, a coaldust explosion — a common hazard in underground mines — killed a full third of the workers on duty at the time: 1,549 died.
Educational Field and Small Mine Services (EFSMS) has developed a series of weekly ToolBox talks that can be used by small mine operators and others to hold safety and health discussions for their employees at their mining operations. We have developed these in consultation with members of the mining community, and appreciate their input.
His areas of expertise include rock slope waste dump engineering, design and implementation of slope monitoring and risk management systems, structural geology modelling, and technical assurance and compliance auditing. Tim has led geotechnical operational and design teams supporting major iron ore and gold mining operations.
The most significant feature is the method by which ore/coal is discharg ed from the skip. Skips now in use are almost always the bottomdump design. Skip loading is often automated in conjunction with automated slumping and automated ore/coal hoisting systems.
