Underground Mining. Underground mining has the potential for tunnel collapses and land subsidence (Betournay, 2011). It involves largescale movements of waste rock and vegetation, similar to open pit mining. Additionally, like most traditional forms of mining, underground mining can release toxic compounds into the air and water.

Exposure to asbestos among the coal mining industry coal mining is inherently dangerous as workers must go underground in hazardous conditions with heavy equipment in order to extract coal the most common risks that coal miners face are inhalation of coal mine dust caveins and explosions
whole life of a mining operation, from its beginnings in the prefeasibility study stage, through the operation of the mine, to the final closure and abandonment of the mine. The design of open pit excavations will endeavour to prevent hazardous and unexpected failures of the rock mass* during the operating life* of the open pit.
22/8/2017#0183;#32;Underground operations usually cause many more difficulties than normally occur in open pit mines, but without constant supervision and strong safeguards, either type of mine can be dangerous for workers. Open pit and underground mines are often in remote locations that require miners to work and live on mining camps for long periods of time, which can cause psychological problems
Waste heaps from the mining process can become unstable when steep slopes are saturated by water from mine sources, the watertable or rainfall. In addition, landslips can engulf or injure people, damage roads and buildings, and block the paths of creeks causing upstream flooding.
25/1/2019#0183;#32;The Gleision Colliery tragedy reminds us of how dangerous mining jobs can be and how specifically hazardous underground mining remains. Fire, flood, collapse, toxic atmospheric contaminants, and dust or gas explosion are the most critical
In 2015, the mine transitioned to underground operation, with production from the underground commencing in early 2017. The Didipio Mine is held under a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) with the Philippine government, the first of its kind issued in the Philippines since 1994, granting title, exploration, and mining rights to the Company within a fixed fiscal regime.
Sometimes the pit is used as a storage area for water or for other uses after consultation with the local community. Underground Mining. Underground Mining is generally used for areas where the mineral seam is too far underground for open cut mining to be of use. A tunnel, called a decline, is created to allow workers and machinery to reach the
Disorientation: There is no natural light inside mine workings. Many workings meander randomly because the miners who dug them followed an ore vein. It is easy to become lost and disoriented in a maze of mine workings, especially if lighting equipment fails. Mine Fires: Mine fires create surface hazards in abandoned coal mine areas. As fires burn within the seam, fissures can open to the surface delivering

underground mining is much dangerous than other mining activities because not only dangerous from the inside but also from the oustide of the surface, it causes the soil to erupt and also underground mining is uses oxygen to work, the deeper you excavating the more pressure it cause
4/11/2019#0183;#32;In underground mining operations, unique dangers include the possibility of a cavein, mine fire, explosion, or exposure to harmful gasses. In addition, dust generated by drilling in mines still places miners at risk of developing either of two serious lung diseases: pneumoconiosis, also called quot;black lung disease,quot; from coal dust, or silicosis from rock dust.
Rock fall, explosions, poor air quality, and caveins are all common hazards. Miners can develop many health disorders, like black lung from breathing in coal. Deep in the earth, gases can mix into deadly combinations. Without proper ventilation and gas monitors, gases become deadly.
