Abstract
Analyze the work of the military mining rescue/emergency rescue services for mining enterprises of the region in 2020. Identify the causes of accidents and hazards that occur in underground and surface mining. Statistical data on the reasons for arrival of services by type of accidents and hazards at the mining enterprises. Measures developed to increase the fire protection of mining enterprises, prevent accidents and emergencies, and industrial injuries. Using technological equipment in surface mining, the dominant accidents and hazards are fires. Resonant fires in the engine compartment of the excavator, at the drive station of the main conveyor lane of the mine, in the cab of the excavator driver, in the cable floor of the wet grinding section at the mining enterprises are analyzed. Beside this, the main factors of accidents at the mining enterprises were as follows: intra-mine and intra-quarry transport, mine rise, accidents during the planned production tasks. Based on the analysis of emergencies in underground and surface mining in 2020 related to the collapse of rocks in the operational workings the identified reasons were: violation of technology in the reinforcement of workings; incorrectly selected fastening parameters taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the host rocks in the workings. Appropriate actions have thus been taken to increase fire protection of mining enterprises, to prevent accidents and emergencies from falling rocks, to prevent accidents and emergencies on intra-mine and intra-quarry technological transport, measures to prevent accidents in shafts of mines equipped with mechanized lifts, and general safety measures.
