Ever since mining began on the industrial scale in the late 19th century, health and safety have been a major concern to miners. These miners can face a number of risks to their well-being, including physical, economic, and psychological problems. Traumas and injuries remain a significant problem to this day and can range from a broken bone to asphyxiation. The most common causes of fatal injuries in the mining industry include falls from height, entrapment, and mobile equipment accidents.

The main stages of safety inrushes risk assessments processes are:

● Identify the hazards

● Consider the precautions already in place for the prevention and mitigation of hazards

● Evaluate the likelihood of a risk occurring due to a particular hazard

● Consider the consequences of the risk and decide who might be harmed and how

● Determine what further measures are necessary to prevent, control or mitigate the risk

● Record significant findings

● Review the risk assessment periodically, or when you think that a change in circumstances will significantly affect the risks to which people are exposed
