This article presents an analysis of the issues related to safety in open-pit mines in Poland, taking into account all open-pit mines extracting basic and common minerals, and subject to the supervision of the mining inspection authorities since 2002. The emphasis is on natural hazards, dangerous occurrences and causes of accidents occurring in the surface mining of mineral deposits. The amendments to the regulations on surface mining are discussed, together with the help of examples, including the reasons for their introduction. |
