Managing Gas on Open Cut Coal Mines
Coal mine workers at open cut mines should be aware of the toxic and flammable risks associated with gases encountered on site. This should include how to effectively monitor, assess and manage potential risks. Some types of gases can displace oxygen while others are flammable and/or have acute toxic effects.
