human Health and Safety risks management in underground coal mines using fuzzy topsis
Science of The Total Environment, 2014Co-Authors: Satar Mahdevari, Kourosh Shahriar, Akbar EsfahanipourAbstract:The scrutiny of Health and Safety of personnel working in underground coal mines is heightened because of fatalities and disasters that occur every year worldwide. A methodology based on fuzzy TOPSIS was proposed to assess the risks associated with human Health in order to manage control measures and support decision-making, which could provide the right balance between different concerns, such as Safety and costs. For this purpose, information collected from three hazardous coal mines namely Hashouni, Hojedk and Babnizu located at the Kerman coal deposit, Iran, were used to manage the risks affecting the Health and Safety of their miners. Altogether 86 hazards were identified and classified under eight categories: geomechanical, geochemical, electrical, mechanical, chemical, environmental, personal, and social, cultural and managerial risks. Overcoming the uncertainty of qualitative data, the ranking process is accomplished by fuzzy TOPSIS. After running the model, twelve groups with different risks were obtained. Located in the first group, the most important risks with the highest negative effects are: materials falling, catastrophic failure, instability of coalface and immediate roof, firedamp explosion, gas emission, misfire, stopping of ventilation system, wagon separation at inclines, asphyxiation, inadequate training and poor site management system. According to the results, the proposed methodology can be a reliable technique for management of the minatory hazards and coping with uncertainties affecting the Health and Safety of miners when performance ratings are imprecise. The proposed model can be primarily designed to identify potential hazards and help in taking appropriate measures to minimize or remove the risks before accidents can occur. Language: en

occupational Health and Safety challenges reported by women in selected south african gold and platinum mines
2012Co-Authors: L I ZunguAbstract:Historically, the South African mining industry has been a male-dominated sector and the employment of women in this sector is relatively new. Compared to their male counterparts, women in mining have unique Health and Safety needs due to their anatomical and physiological makeup. Currently there is a paucity of published data on Health and Safety concerns and issues pertaining to women in mining. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 118 women working in two purposively selected South African gold and platinum mines, to explore occupational Health and Safety challenges reported by the women. Results showed that they faced challenges related to personal protective equipment and underground environmental conditions, such as unhygienic sanitary amenities. Some of the Health conditions they reported may be related to such challenges. Improvement of PPE and underground sanitary amenities is vital to promote their Health.
