You're facing a safety concern in underground excavation. How do you address it effectively?

It doesn't matter where the safety concerns are as every safety concerns would be evaluated and acted upon the same way to me your insinuating that there is a seperate answer or just making a conversation because every safety Concern is acted upon the best knowledge that your work has taught you to do and also a major player of the matter is Common Sense but that seems to be slowly deteriorating these days and I think the reason is way to much paperwork to fill out before you do something & too many site Safety People with Not a Clue or idea but did see it in a book or got told about it but definitely No Hands On Experience But Seems To Tell the Person that has the Experience on What & how it Should be Done.

The premise for handling safety issues in the mines focusing on underground excavation entails a comprehensive review of risk factors that exist. Here’s a structured approach: Identify Hazards: The surrounding environment on the site has to be observed to look for risks as rock falls, failure of equipment, toxicity of gases produced. Consult with the workers to get primary information. Risk Analysis: With the identified risks assess their likelihood and severity. Perform a specific task analysis such as, Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to determine the risks involved in a certain activity at each stage.

Implement Controls: The next step is to work out a control measures using what is known as the “Hierarchy of controls”. C – Elimination and/or substitution, E – Engineering control, A – Administrative control, PPE. Human Factor Consideration: Make sure that measures are workable and look at people aspect. Bring in trainers and ensure that employees are trained properly with concentration on behavior based safety in order to make it a safety culture. Continuous Monitoring: In addition, make a practice of reviewing the performance of the control measures that are in place. To prevent such a situation, utilize data from the sensors and as well as constant monitoring so as to prevent such a situation from occurring.

Emergency Preparedness: It is also advisable to rehearse new plans for handling emergencies. Categorically make certain that all of the workers have sufficient comprehension of the evacuations routes and methods in the event of an incident.

Los sistemas de monitoreo en una mina subterránea son claves para salvaguardar la seguridad de nuestros trabajadores. Algunos de estos pueden ser: -Sistema contra incendios: La instalación de este sistema evitará catastróficos escenarios. Su instalación en talleres interior mina es un gran aporte para la seguridad de los trabajadores. -Detectores de gases: La medición de gases como el monóxido o dióxido de carbono en las labores mineras nos evitará de gaseamientos que puedan generar un fatal. -Sistema de cámaras: Por más simple que suene, tener ojos en toda la mina es importante para conocer el estado de nuestro sistema de bombeo, relleno, ventilación, entre otros.
