The mining industry [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is probably one of the most unsafe industries to be working in. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Even though mining accidents don't occur that often (that we know of) the truth is that anything can go completely wrong at any time. I recall a couple of months ago when a whole team of mine staff were caught in a mine after a shaft collapsed - the world stood by and watched until these individuals were eventually rescued, using some of the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] most state-of-the-art mining equipment available on the planet.
When it comes to the equipment used in mines, no short cuts should be taken! If you drive a car with a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] low quality tyre, the tyre will ultimately burst and you might end up rolling your vehicle. The same goes for mining equipment - If [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you work with inferior mining equipment, or perhaps not the correct mining equipment for the actual job involved, this can cause a lot of injuries and perhaps also a number of deaths.
Let's have a look at some [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of the various pieces of mining equipment which can be utilized in mines today:
I often drive on the highway on my way to work and then hear on the radio station that a specific street will be closed for a few minutes later the day because of blasting that will take place. If there is a stubborn bit of rock in the way of a mining operation (for example if the miners are building a tunnel and the rock is preventing progress) a blasting machine will be used to basically explode the granite rock so that it is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] easy to remove. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] This is naturally done from a safe distance and a detonate switch will only be pushed once all the necessary safety precautions have been taken.
In the early days, miners had to use [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] spades to dig - understandably this method was demanding and cumbersome and several miners almost certainly passed out because of fatigue. Luckily today, miners can make use of a very popular piece of mining equipment, called an excavator. These vehicles either move ahead tracks or standard wheels (much similar to a car or other vehicle) or have hinged arms with buckets for hands which is then used for digging and doing away [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] with earth.
If the miners need to get rid of large pieces of earth, drills are often used to create a handful of holes in the surface. These holes are then filled with explosives and by the press of a button massive pieces of earth are literally blasted out the way. Drills may also be used to drill down to oil and other gas which is located far below the earth, so that these compounds can [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] piped to the surface.
It is crucial that mining equipment is properly maintained and serviced often. As mining is often restricted to very confined spaces, something can go very wrong, extremely fast! The proper equipment combined with the proper safety gear will go quite a distance in insuring the safety of our miners!
