Is it really hard and dangerous to work underground in coal mines?

Working underground in coal mines, now basically all state-owned coal mines are running. In the past, small dirty jobs and private and township coal mines were basically reduced and compressed. In state-owned coal mines, safety supervision and guarantee are becoming more and more perfect, and all production facilities and equipment are becoming more and more modern. Compared with the last century, the labor force of coal miners is very different. The workers who go down the well pay more physical strength than the motorcade and coal mining team, and the rest of the work is to keep time and the labor is not big.

difficult

1. Equipment before entering the well: miner's lamp, miner's hat, mask, towel, self-rescuer, cotton-padded clothes and rain boots, all of which are indispensable, making walking heavy and inconvenient.

2. Working time: During the underground shift change, the actual duty time exceeds the specified time by more than 2 hours.

3. Construction: The underground space is limited, and many materials need to be lifted and transported manually. Every working procedure needs the cooperation of workers, such as supporting, coal mining, shotcreting, coal shoveling and equipment installation. These all require labor and are extremely hard.

danger

1. Water permeability: A water permeability accident occurred during mining, which caused the roadway to be flooded and caused a large number of casualties.

2. Gas explosion: When gas accumulates to a certain concentration, it will explode when it meets a fire source and a suitable oxygen concentration, and everything will be destroyed.

3. Roof: The roof and slope are well controlled during construction, which is extremely suitable for causing injuries caused by falling gangue and is in the forefront of coal mine accidents today.

4. Mechanical equipment: underground buildings, complicated mechanical equipment. For example, vehicle transportation, coal cutting by roadheader, machine support, belt running, feng shui pipeline hanging, equipment installation and so on. Mistakes are inevitable in the work, resulting in casualties.

5. Occupational diseases: cold environment causes rheumatic diseases, and the waist and legs are sore. A lot of dust flying in the sky causes lung diseases. Noise causes chronic deafness.

Working underground in coal mines is really hard! There are also certain dangers! It's still safe now!

Coal mine underground operation is to use cages to go down to a depth of about 600 meters below the ground. Cages are similar to elevators, but the speed is very fast, which is basically the same as or even faster than the express elevators in skyscrapers. After going down the well, you usually have to take an underground train to sit near the working face before you can go to the underground coal mining face. The process from the wellhead to the working face usually takes more than one hour, and the distance is generally more than 5 kilometers, and there are also more than ten kilometers, most of which take about 2 hours.

After arriving at the working face, it was 8 hours of hard work, and the underground working environment was relatively bad. Now many mines are mechanized coal mining, and physical labor is much less than before, but noise, dust, high temperature and high humidity are several major hazards of underground work. If it is not mechanized coal mining, the workload of underground manual labor will be greater. I won't say much about this.

Generally, people who work in mines live near mining areas, and some live in cities. The time to commute to the mine every day is also about 1 hour. Many people get up before dawn, and it is already evening when they get home. You can do the math. Commuting time is 2 hours a day, going back and forth for about 4 hours, working for 8 hours, and working in the mine for about 14 hours a day. It only takes 10 hour to go home every day. This is the real situation of coal mine work.

At present, the most important thing in coal mines is safety, and the biggest improvement now is safety measures. Various safety sensing probes are distributed underground. Now working in a coal mine, as long as it is not illegal, nothing will happen, and the safety risk is much lower than before. Many coal mines have put an end to accidents with minor injuries by strengthening management and safety protection. Therefore, it is safe to work in the coal mine now.

Coal mine safety is the first priority. If there are no accidents, there will be basically no major accidents. Say touch a finger? Minor injuries such as peeling skin and broken toes are personal carelessness, which will happen in any job. The safety of coal mines is far greater than that of the transportation industry, especially in major accidents. So many coal mines in China don't necessarily have several major safety accidents a year, and the transportation industry can hear or see them almost every day.

At present, the income of coal miners is not very good, they work hard every day, and because of three shifts, they have little rest time. At present, many miners in many coal mines earn more than 0/000 a month when the benefits are good, and thousands of dollars a month when the benefits are not good. In addition, silicosis, an occupational disease in coal mines in the last century, will not get this disease for the rest of my life as long as I operate according to the regulations with the improvement and implementation of dust reduction facilities in wells.

Therefore, underground work in coal mines is not what it used to be, except underground work, which is not much different from other ground work. On the contrary, physical strength may be much smaller than other types of work. At least it's better than building a house, delivering a courier and setting up a stall to make snacks. And there are perfect social security five insurances or six insurances and one gold.
