Overview of mine rescue approaches for underground coal fires: A South African perspective

Coal is mined by both surface and underground methods its extraction normally characterized numerous hazards that can lead to catastrophic accidents, which result in devastating effects such as injuries or fatalities, damage mining assets, destruction of mineral resources. These exist due the ability coal support combustion association with toxic, flammable, explosive gases. Underground entails higher safety risks than opencast mining, chiefly because issues relating mine ventilation collapse. Furthermore, collapses mostly occur crumbling supports, especially room pillar systems. To avoid adverse occurrences, management systems need be place. This study reviews various technological principles are used for safe-rescue self-escape miners fires, particularly South Africa, using data obtained from Mines Rescue Services Carltonville, Africa. The outcome review shows practising culture has been given priority across many African mines through setting up encouraging workers stay committed principles.
