| Abstract |
Accident statistics for 1995 were little changed from 1994. Of 273 mines subject to the Mines and Industries Inspectorate (Gosgortehnadzor), 93 recorded fatal accidents. There were 221 victims. Leading causes were rock falls (28.7%), methane and dust explosions (22.5%), transport (20.2%) and injury by machines (10.1%). The total number of accidents with injury was 14,436. The statistics are broken down by type, cause and location of accident, and by occupation and experience of victim. The mines with the highest frequencies of accidents are often more than 40 years old. The workings have had little maintenance, underground transport is difficult and ventilation systems need to be replaced. Twenty-one actions that should be undertaken in response to the situation are presented. |
