The analysis indicates the emphasis reason that result in the accidents in coal mines are artificial cause explosion of mash gas and coal dust, water flood, fire hazard. The accidents mostly happened on stope which is more often than other places, following by the driving work face. This not only supplies the managers with basic reference about safe administration, but also suggests the countermeasures in reducing accidents: improve the disposition of person, perfect all kinds of rules and regulations, severely investigate, analyze and deal with the accidents.展开更多

Due to the particularity in coal mine production, mine accidents some time occur in countries all over the world, which result in large casualties and economic losses. As equipment that can provides the miners with an emergency shelter when the coal mine accidents occur, the under ground coal mine refuge chamber is paid more and more attention by coal mine enterprises, and the application of the refuge chamber is increasingly widespread. The general functions, the classification, and the successful applications of the underground coal mine refuge chamber are illustrated first, and the research significance on the tmderground coal mine refuge chamber is stated. Following, the development status quo at home and abroad for the refuge chamber is introduced. Then, the implementation methods for the key functions of the underground coal mine refuge chamber are demonstrated. Finally, the prospect for the development of the underground coal mine refuge chamber is stated.展开更多

This study seeks to determine the patterns of these accidents by examining the characteristicsof an accidents database, considering regional, temporal, mining method, and classification distribution characteristics. The analysis centers on all significant coal accidents (involving three or more fatalities) that occurredin China from 2017 to 2022, as documented in China’s (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) national coalmining safety accident report. Over the most recent six years, roof falls and gas explosions have emerged as themost common types of accident. Case studies were conducted to comprehensively investigate the histories andunderlying causes of these incidents. Countermeasures are proposed from three perspectives: prospective measures, optimization strategies, and enterprise management.展开更多
