Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint the mining students with the legal regulation on labour safety, potential dangers that can occur in all stages of the technological process in mines with underground and surface exploitation, as well as in mineral processsing facilities, preventive and technical protective measures to prevent them, the way of organizing the rescue service, making a plan of actions and saving the mine and providing first aid to injured workers.
Learning outcomes
The student will to acquire the skills for practical and theoretical knowledge related to the organization and implementation of labour safety in the mining companies, preparation of appropriate instructions, company documents, reports and analyzes in the field of labour safety, fire protection plans, action plans and rescue of labours, choosing of the necessary works fire equipment and means for extinguishing fires, means of collective and personal safety equipment. Comprehensive assessment of potential hazards and taking a specific measures to prevent them in all techological processes of surface and underground exploitation of mineral ore materials, mineral processing of ores, including the selection of equipment for the prevention and early detection of the potential hazards and procedures for their elimination. Training for labour rescuing and material resource in case of accidents in mines, handling of filtration and isolative devices and devices for reviving people, providing first aid to injured workers and taking all necessary measures to protect life and health of people and property.
Content
Objective, task and development of safety at work. Getting to know the basic provisions of laws and regulations in mining Concept of the preventive measures. Training of workers for healthy and safe work. Periodic inspections of equipment and testing of working environment conditions. Ergonomics. Injuries at work Occupational diseases. Risks in mines and their assessment. Mine gases (O2, CO2, CO, H2 S, NO, NO2, CH4, etc.) Control of the mine air composition. Protection measures of suffocating, toxic and explosive gases. Dust in mines Explosivity of mine dust. Protection measures of the harmful effects of mine dust Fires in mines. Mine fire control procedures Preventive protection measures against explosions in mines. Preventive measures against dynamic phenomena in mines Preventing the water inflow and grain materials into the mine premises. The climate of the mining working environment Noise, vibrations and protection measures against their harmful effects. Lighting in mines Preventive protection measures in the application of various types of energy in mines Protection measures in technological processes in underground and surface exploitation of mineral raw materials Protection measures in the technological processing of mineral raw materials. Devices of personal and collective protection Isolation and filtration of rescue apparatus. Isolation devices. Mine rescue service Provision of first aid and resuscitation of injured persons. Defense plan and mine rescue operation
Teaching Methods
The theoretical lectures, computational exercises, colloquiums/tests and seminar work. The program is made easier for the student by studying in consultation with the teacher and assistant.
