1. Introduction Minerals constitute the backbone of economic growth of any nation and India has been eminently endowed with this gift of nature. A number of minerals of economic and commercial value abound in this country. There are many evidence that exploitation of minerals like coal, iron-ore, copper, lead-zinc has been going on in the country from time immemorial. However, the first recorded history of mining in India dates back to 1774 when English Company was granted permission by the East India Company for mining coal in Raniganj. Coal mining got a boost in 1855 when railway line was laid from Howrah to Raniganj. M/s John Taylor & Sons Ltd. started gold mining in Kolar Gold Fields in the year 1880. The first oil well was drilled in Digboi in the year 1866 - just seven years after the first ever oil well was drilled anywhere in the world viz. in Pennsylvania State, USA in 1859. Mining activities in the country however remained primitive in nature and modest in scale uptill the beginning of the current century. Thereafter, with progressive industrialisation the demand for and hence the production of various minerals gradually went up. After India became independent, the growth of mining under the impact of successive Five Year Plans has been very fast. There are ambitious plans in coal, metalliferous and oil sectors to increase production of minerals during the 10th Five Year Plan and thereafter. Table-1 shows the increasing trend in output of important minerals, whereas Table-2 shows the growth of mining activities in terms of some important parameters like number of mines, value of minerals mined, aggregate horsepower installed and explosive used. Table-3 shows average daily employment in coal, metal & oil mines. Table-4 shows the trend in average place-wise daily employment of men and women in mines. The table shows that there is a gradual fall in average daily employment of women in mines. Table-5 shows trend in production of coal from belowground and opencast workings. It also shows the trend in average daily employment in belowground, opencast workings and aboveground in the coal mines. It is observed that the production of coal from opencast workings has increased substantially while that from belowground workings has remained almost stagnant. Minerals are depleting assets of a nation. Extraction of the same from below the surface of the earth is fraught with innumerable dangers. Mining has been and continues to be a hazardous profession and has rightly been deemed to be a war with the unpredictable forces of nature. The condition of roof and sides of underground mines can change without any prior indication. Dangers due to sudden inrush of water, release of lethal and inflammable gases or the fall of roof and side are inherent to mining and it is essentially because of such unpredictable dangers that mining is considered the most hazardous of all peace-time occupations. 2. Mine Safety Legislation In earlier years when mining activities were modest in scale, safety problems too were simple. With the progress in exploitation of minerals, safety of persons employed started to become a matter of concern. In 1895, the Government of India initiated steps to frame legislative measures for safety of workmen. In 1897 first major disaster in mining hit the Kolar Goldfields killing 52 persons, to be soon followed by the Khost Coal Mine disaster in Baluchistan (now in Pakistan) killing 47 persons. The disaster hastened the process of formulation of safety laws and the first Mines Act was enacted in 1901. With further experience, this Act was superseded by the Indian Mines Act, 1923, which was again replaced by the present Mines Act, 1952. This Act came into force on the 1st July 1952. Major changes were incorporated in this Act in the years 1959 and 1983. The Mines Act, 1952 applies to mines of all minerals within the country except the State of Sikkim, including the offshore mines within the limits of ter-ritorial water. For administering the provisions of the Indian Mines Act, 1901, the Government of India set up a "Bureau of Mines Inspection" on the 7th January 1902 with headquarters at Calcutta. The name of the organisation was changed to Department of Mines in


2

1904 and its headquarters shifted to Dhanbad in 1908. On 1.1.1960, the organisation was renamed as "Office of the Chief Inspector of Mines". Since 1.5.1967, the office has been re-designated as Directorate-General of Mines Safety (DGMS for short). 3. Organisational Set-Up Under the Constitution of India, safety, welfare and health of workers employed in mines are the concern of the Central Government (Entry 55-Union List-Article 246). The objective is regulated by the Mines Act, 1952 and the Rules and Regulations framed thereunder. These are administered by the Directorate-General of Mines Safety (DGMS), under the Union Ministry of Labour & Employment. Apart from administering the Mines Act and the subordinate legislation there under, DGMS also administers a few other allied legislation, including the Indian Electricity Act. A list of the subordinate legislation under the Mines Act and certain allied legislation administered by DGMS is at Annexure-I. Officers appointed to different technical posts in DGMS are selected by U.P.S.C. They are required to have Degree in Mining or Electrical or Mechanical Engineering and several years of experience, varying from seven to ten years of working in responsible capacity in mines or allied industry. Besides, officers of mining cadre posses First Class Mine Manager's Certificate of Competency. The Occupational Health cadre is manned by qualified and experienced medical personnel. Due to the nature of work performed by the officers of DGMS, the Govt. of India declared this organisation as "S&T Institution” on the recommendation of Science and Technology Department of Govt. of India, in November, 1987. The organisation has its headquarters at Dhanbad (Jharkhand) and is headed by the Director-General of Mines Safety. At the headquarter, the Director-General is assisted by specialist staff-officers in mining, electrical & mechanical engineering, occupational health, law, survey, statistics, administration and accounts disciplines. The headquarters has also a technical library and S&T laboratories as a back-up support to the organisation. The field organisation has a two-tier network of field offices. The entire country is divided into six zones, each under the charge of a Deputy Director-General. There are three to four Regional offices under each zonal office. Each Region is under the charge of a Director of Mines Safety. There are in all 21 such Regional Offices. Sub-regional offices have been set up in important areas of concentrated mining activities away from Regional office. There are five such sub-regional offices, each under the charge of a Deputy Director. Each Zone, besides having inspecting officers of mining cadre has officers in electrical & mechanical engineering and occupational health disciplines. Organizational chart of DGMS is at Annexure-II. DGMS has a total sanctioned strength of 978 persons with 741 in position as indicated below: CATEGORY SANCTIONED STRENGTH IN POSITION STRENGTHGROUP-A 177 131 GROUP-B 104 89 GROUP-C 453 352 GROUP-D 244 169 TOTAL 978 741

4.2 Current functions of DGMS broadly include: 1. Inspection of mines 2. Investigation into - (a) accidents (b) dangerous occurrences - emergency response (c) complaints & other matters 3. (a) Grant of : (i) statutory permission, exemptions & relaxations - pre-view of project reports & mining plans (ii) approval of mine safety equipment, material & appliances (b) Interactions for development of safety equipment, material and safe

work practices through workshop etc. (c) Development of Safety Legislation & Standards (d) Safety Information Dissemination 4. Conduct of examinations for grant of competency certificates. 5. Safety promotional initiatives including : (a) Organisation of -

Conference on Safety in Mines National Safety Awards Safety Weeks & Campaigns

(b) Promoting - - safety education and awareness programmes - workers’ participation in safety management through -

workmen’s inspector safety committee tripartite reviews

5. Measures to improve safety in mines 5.1 Legislative Measures 5.1.1 Inspection & Enquiries Since mining is beset with many inherent hazards, detailed precautions have been laid down in the Mines Act and the Rules and Regulations framed thereunder to guard against dangers in mines and it is the responsibility of the mine management to comply with the same. While the onus of providing for and ensuring safety in mines rests fundamentally with the mine managements, as clearly laid down under section 18 of the Mines Act, 1952 as “The owner and agent of every mine shall each be responsible for making financial and other provisions and for taking other such steps as may be necessary for compliance with the provisions of this Act and regulations, rules, bye-laws and others made thereunder.” The DGMS has the responsibility to see that the safety statute is kept updated to absorb the technical advancements as well as to make the same comprehensive, practicable and legally sound and also to carry out periodic inspection of mines to oversee compliance of safety laws. The Mines Act and the subordinate legislations framed thereunder is periodically updated for the purpose. Each and every accident involving fatality is enquired into by an officer or a team of officers of DGMS. A few accidents involving serious bodily injury and most of the important dangerous occurrences are also investigated by DGMS Officers. Action taken subsequent to inspections:

Pointing out contraventions Withdrawal of permission Issue of improvement notices Prohibition of employment Informal stoppages Prosecution in the court of law

5.1.2 Enquiry into Accidents, Dangerous Occurrences etc. Statutory Provisions The notifiable dangerous occurrences include:

All fatal and serious accidents & specified dangerous occurrences and occupational diseases are required to be notified to DGMS,

Explosion, ignition, spontaneous heating, out-break of fire, irruption or inrush of water or other liquid matter;

Influx of inflammable or noxious gases; Breakage of rope, chain or other gear by which persons or materials are

lowered or raised in a shaft or an incline; Overwinding of cages or other means of conveyance in any shaft while

persons or materials are being lowered or raised; or Premature collapse of any part of the workings.

All fatal accidents are required to be enquired into by DGMS within 2 months. Apart from the incidents mentioned above the officers also enquire into complaints connected with the safety and welfare of the persons connected with mining which are received from various sources. Being concerned with safety, normally, even anonymous complaints are enquired into. Following actions are taken after an enquiry:

Warning to delinquent Suspension of certificate Modification in the method of working Action by management like stoppage of increment, dismissal from service,

recorded warning, withholding promotion and Prosecution in the court of law

The number of inspections and enquiries conducted by DGMS officers during the year 2006 is shown in appended Table-6

Permissions, exemptions, relaxations and associated orders are regularly granted by this Directorate to the mine operators under various provisions of the statute. Whenever a new technology is planned to be introduced in the mines, the officers of this Directorate are always approached to analyze and scrutinize the proposal for its safety and affectivity. The technology is either directly permitted to be introduced or modified to suit Indian environment. The workings in the mine are regularly checked by field officers during


6

the course of their inspection and enquiries. If the conditions of workings and manner of extraction are found unsafe and not carried out as per the permissions granted, the permissions are immediately revoked. During the year 2006, 2532 applications were received for grant of permissions, exemptions and relaxations, out of which 2174 cases were dealt by the officers of DGMS resulting in grant of 1597 permissions, exemptions etc. and 577 cases, were recorded. Action in respect of remaining 358 applications is under process. 5.1.4 Improvement Notices & Prohibitory Orders During inspection of mines, if the workings or the environment are found to be unsafe and dangerous notices or prohibitory orders are immediately issued to the management to take necessary steps for improvement. Unless the conditions improve for re-deployment of persons as recorded through inspections, the orders are not vacated and persons are not allowed to be deployed in such dangerous conditions. Details of the improvement notices and prohibitory orders are given in Table-7 in the annexure. In addition 37 cases statutory permissions were withdrawn for non-compliance of conditions laid down in the permissions. 5.1.5 Approval and Testing What constitutes “mine safety equipment” has not been precisely defined anywhere. Mining is a hazardous occupation and therefore the equipment, machinery, tools and material used in mines required to be safe, robust and reliable capable of working safely under hostile environment. The equipment needs to remain safe under prolonged usage even in adverse condition. Approval Policy and Procedure The objective of granting approval to various equipment for use in mines is to primarily fulfill the statutory obligation enshrined under different provisions of Coal Mines Regulations, 1957, Metalliferous Mines Regulations, 1961, Oil Mines Regulations, 1984, Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 and Mines Rescue Rules, 1985 besides statutory notification under these regulations by the competent authority from time to time. For obtaining approval any mines safety equipment material it is generally required to conform to the Bureau of Indian Standard specification and if there are no such specification then to standard specification of other countries like ISO/EN/DIN etc. Sometime the standard evolved on the basis past practice are also accepted. The equipment/material is tested in any approved test house in India in accordance with the above standard. If the test report is satisfactory it is considered for grant of approval. Approval are granted in two phases a) Approval for field-trials b) Regular approval Based on preliminary examination of the application, which is made in a prescribed format, test report from an approved test house in conformity of applicable standard approval to conduct field trial is granted. Sometimes factories of the manufacturer are also visited to ensure their capability and to check the quality control system adopted in the manufacturing process. The period of field trial approval vary between three months to one year. It is necessary to ensure that the field trials are conducted in mines suitable for the purpose and will offer adequate scope for monitoring the performance by DGMS officials. After successful completion of the field trial and receipt of the satisfactory report the case is again examined and recommendations made to accord regular approval. If shortcomings are observed during the field trials the same is communicated to the manufacturer. The manufacturer may seek extension of the field trial. Regular approval is granted for a particular period initially for one year and is


7

subsequently extended after obtaining satisfactory performance report from the field. The time period for extension vary between two years to three years. During the year 2006, 329 approvals for use of material, equipment, machinery etc. in mines were granted as detailed below:

Type of approval No. approved Approval for field trial 67Regular approval 262Total 329

5.2 Developmental Measures 5.2.1 Standard Setting Based on the experiences, the developmental initiatives undertaken by DGMS are - (i) amendment of safety laws, (ii) issue of guidelines for safer operations in identified thrust areas through

circulars and (iii) issue of technical instructions to DGMS officers for their guidance. Standard setting is a complex process consisting of translation of the vast experience of DGMS and multilevel interaction. Results of inspections and analysis of accident enquiries, recommendations of courts of enquiries and safety conferences, results of research & development activities, ILO guidelines and international state of the art of technology and its safety ramifications are some of the inputs going into standard setting. Amendment of statutes is an elaborate process wherein all the likely affected parties viz. Labour, management, academicians, research institutes, professional bodies are given adequate opportunities to send their comments, which in turn are considered before finalizing the amendment. During 2006, DGMS issued 8 circulars to the mine management and 3 in-house departmental instructions as indicated below:

5.3 Conduct of Examinations and Award of Statutory certificates of

Competency Mining is a war against unpredictable forces of nature and since conditions of workings go on changing moment to moment, man at the spot has to take instantaneous decisions. Practical and on the spot decision of the front-line supervisor and managerial executive is of paramount importance to save life. To examine the competency of persons eligible for manning such posts and to grant certificate of competency, two Boards of Mining Examination, one for Coal and the other for Metalliferous mines, function under the Chairmanship of the Director-General of Mines Safety. Competency examinations are different from university examinations. In these Examinations stress is laid on practical aspect of managing/supervising a mine/district apart from his theoretical knowledge. In case of managers, assistant managers, surveyors and overman, the competency examination consists of a written part and an oral part. In manager’s competency examination i.e. first class/second class there are


8

five subjects in which candidates are examined viz. Legislation, Mine Management & General Safety, Method of work, Ventilation, Mining machinery and Mine Surveying. Depending on the qualification and experience of the candidates, exemptions from appearing in some papers/subjects are granted. Candidates obtaining at least 40% marks in written examination in any subject is then called for the oral examination. Candidates obtaining at least 40% in orals and at least 50% in aggregate i.e. written and oral examinations are declared successful. Before a candidate is allowed to appear in an examination his application is scrutinized for valid first aid certificate, gas-testing certificate, other statutory certificate, practical experience, character certificate, medical certificate and basic qualification certificate. In case of junior examinations i.e. sirdar’s, shotfirer’s mate’s, blaster’s etc. only oral examinations are held. A candidate has to secure at least 50% marks with different examiners to be declared successful. Details of examinations conducted during the year 2006 are given in Annexure-III. Processing of the large nos. of application is a big job and the system requires computerization for which a plan scheme named SSEX has been initiated. 5.4 Promotional initiatives Some of the recent developments in safety movement, besides the legislative measures, include: 5.4.1 Conference on safety in mines. The Conference on Safety in Mines is a tripartite forum at the national level in which the employers' representatives, the trade unions' representatives, the Government represented by Ministry of Labour, DGMS, various administrative ministries/ departments and State Governments and associated institutions, professional bodies, service associations, etc. take part. They review the status of safety in mining and the adequacy of existing measures in a spirit of mutual cooperation. The conference also suggests measures for further improvement in safety, welfare and health of mine workers. The first Conference was held in the year 1958 and the ninth conference was held on 2nd & 3rd February, 2000 at New Delhi. A number of recommendations of these conferences have been given statutory backing and most of the others absorbed in management practices and policies. 5.4.2 National Safety Awards (Mines) Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India instituted National Safety Awards (Mines) in 1983 (for the contest year 1982) with a view to promote a competitive spirit amongst mine operators for the betterment of safety standards in mines and to give due recognition to outstanding safety performance at national level. This award is given away by the Hon'ble President of India every year and has generated considerable enthusiasm amongst the Mining community. National Safety Awards (Mines) for the year 2001 was given away on 8th November, 2004. 5.4.3 Vocational Training and Other Training Recognizing the need for safety education to enable the mine workers to prepare them to face the challenges of mining, the Mines Vocational Training Rules were framed in 1966. These rules provide for initial, refresher and specialised training to mine workers. This also provides for construction of mines vocational training centres with training officers and instructors along with proper and adequate equipment and softwares. It also provides for payment to trainees during the training period.

5.4.4 Observance of Safety Week, Safety Campaign etc. During the safety week held every year in different mining fields, efforts are made through various audio-visual means, to inculcate safety consciousness amongst workers, supervisors and others so as to influence their behaviour at work. Further, by holding competition amongst various participating mines an attempt is made to improve the working conditions. In all 37 nos. of safety weeks were observed during the year 2006 in different regions spread over the country covering all types of mines. Based on the accident experience, special safety drives are sometimes launched to focus attention on specific cause-groups. 5.4.5 Holding of First Aid and Rescue Competitions etc. Unfortunately inspite of all-round efforts by every body accidents continue to occur. To mitigate the consequences of such occurrences speedy and timely rescue & rendering of first aid assumes great importance. Recognising the importance of preparedness, speed and efficiency in first aid and rescue, competitions are held to bring improvement in these services. First Aid and Rescue Competitions were held in a number of mining companies. These keep the rescue workers and first-aiders in battle ready conditions. The officers of DGMS actively associated themselves with these competitions. 5.4.6 Promoting Participation of workers in safety management Much greater strides in safety can be achieved by participation of workmen in safety programme, the twin institutions of 'Safety Committee & ‘Workmen’s Inspector’ have been conceived and even given the statutory backing. DGMS is also associated with training of Workmen’s Inspectors to make them effective in discharge of their duties. In coal mines almost all the eligible mines had a Workmen’s Inspector and a Safety Committee. The table below shows the status of appointment of Workmen’s Inspector and Safety Committees during 2006: Type of Mine No. of Safety Committees No. of Workmen’s Inspectors Required Provided Required Provided Coal 527 526 1533 1526 Metal 307 289 374 386 Oil 17 16 36 36 Total 851 831 1943 1948 5.4.7 Promoting Self-regulation by management Most of the mining companies in the organised sector have enunciated company's safety policy and set up Internal Safety Organisation (ISO) for monitoring, advising on and aiding in the implementation of safety measures in mines as per Company’s policies and guidelines in keeping with the statutory provisions. ISOs are headed by a very senior officer of the Director level in the coal companies and are multi-disciplinary in character. 5.4.8 Awareness and information dissemination Officers of DGMS serve as guest faculties at several short-term safety courses organized by the Mine Managements, Institute for Miners & Metal Workers' Education and Scientific and Academic Institutions. The officers also participate in various technical workshops, seminars, symposia and conferences and present technical


10

papers relevant to their field of work. At all these forums they strive to spread the message of safety in right perspective. Lists of various training courses/seminars/symposium & workshops attended/ participated by DGMS Officers during 2006 are given in Annexures IV & IVA respectively. Besides, lectures were delivered by Officers of DGMS in various forums. They also chaired technical sessions and delivered key-note/valedictory addresses at various seminars/symposia/workshops and conferences etc. Another piece of information which is widely disseminated and extensively made use of relates to accident statistics and analysis thereof. The DGMS also publishes the following:

(a) DGMS Annual Report - annually (b) Statistics of Mines in India Vol.I (Coal) - annually (c) Statistics of Mines in India Vol.II(Non-coal) - annually

(d) Monthly Coal Bulletin - monthly (e) Monthly Review of Accidents - monthly 5.4.9 Technical Measures It is well recognised that reasonable frequency of inspections is important to keep the mine operators alert to their responsibilities. It is also recognised that quality of inspections is equally important. This underscores the need for:

Technical and professional competency of the officers of DGMS to be kept continually updated and upgraded;

The regulatory, enforcement, advisory and promotional roles of DGMS to be backed by strong in-house S&T support; and

Optimize the scarce resources of DGMS through:

Automation of office work so as to free the technical officers from work of routine and repetitive nature; and

Develop and implement comprehensive computer-based Mines Safety Information Monitoring System.

All most all the officers of DGMS are provided with personal computers with necessary accessories to perform their routine work and efforts are being made to implement the e-governance program of Govt. of India.

6. Plan Schemes In order to provide in-house technical support to field offices, DGMS is implementing following Plan Schemes namely: Ongoing schemes:

Study of Mine Accidents and Development of Mine Safety Information System (SOMA)

Augmentation of S&T Capabilities, Mines Rescue Services and Human Resource Development (S&T)

Strengthening of Machinery for Conduct of Statutory Examination (SSEX) Improving Efficiency by Providing Infrastructure Facilities in DGMS (PIF)

New scheme:

Modernization of Information Database Relating to Mine Management (MID)(Merged with MSC)

6.1 Study of Mine Accidents and Development of Mine Safety Information System (SOMA)

The scheme has been formulated by merging two on-going plan schemes of DGMS, namely “Development of Mine Safety Information System (DMSIS,1976)” and “Study of Mine Accidents to Plan Preventive Measures (SOMA, 1976)”. These two schemes were functional independently during the 8th plan period and during the first 4 years of the 9th plan. In 2001-2002, i.e. the terminal year of the 9th plan, keeping the objective of integration in view, these schemes were merged into one scheme “Study of Mine Accidents and Development of Mine Safety Information System (SOMA)”. Reports of enquiry into all fatal accidents were scrutinized, causes and circumstances leading to these accidents were finalized and compiled for inclusion in DGMS Annual Report. In the year 2006, work of collection, compilation and analysis on a PC platform in respect of accident due to roof fall, side fall, wheeled trackless transportation machinery and haulage in coal mine was conducted in order to identify critical causation factors of such types of accidents and to find out probable corrective measures for their prevention. The outcome of the studies would be disseminated to the industry through technical circulars. Software packages were developed for entry, processing and tabulation of data on roof & side fall accidents in coal mines involving over twenty-five explanatory variables. Some descriptive results of the analysis are presented. A modified approach for identification of accident prone mines was adopted, data from eleven coal companies regarding all mines were collected and accident prone mines of these eleven coal companies were identified with a view to identify hazard potential of such mines and draw up action programmes for formulation of mitigating measures through collective efforts of Mine Management, Trade Unions and the Government. The major activities taken up during the year included –

Publication of Annual Report, 2004 and compilation of Annual Report for the year 2005.

Compilation and publication of Standard Note on DGMS as on 1.1.2006 Identification of accident-prone mines in respect of coal & lignite mines. Compilation of statistics and preparation of manuscript for –

o Statistics of Mines in India, Vol.I (Coal), 2004 o Statistics of Mines in India, Vol.II(Non-Coal), 2004 o Monthly Review of Accidents and


13

o Report on Monthly Inspection Analysis Providing EDP Facilities to other field offices of DGMS Processing of applications and preparing a list of winner for National Safety

Awards (Mines) Issued Technical Circulars based on the accident experience.

Several talks were given to disseminate valuable insight into the area of accident analysis and investigation during in-house training programmes as well as to the industry representatives in various fora. 6.2 Augmentation of S&T Capabilities, Mines Rescue Services and Human

Resource Development (S&T) Origin: This Scheme has been formulated by merging the objectives of ongoing schemes namely “Augmentation of Science & Technological support capabilities in DGMS” [S&T] (1981), “Development of Mines Rescue Services“[DMRS] (1981) and “Human Resource Development for improving health and safety standards in mines” [HRD] (1990).

The overall activities are broadly divided into three components: (A) Scientific and Technological Support (S&T)

This scheme aims at providing in-house scientific support to the officers of DGMS in discharge of their enforcemental, regulatory and promotional role. It also provides scientific support to mine operators, workers organisation and other institutions concerned with occupational health and safety matters. The activities of the S&T plan scheme covers a wide cross-section of facets of occupational safety and health including occupational hygiene/health, strata control, mine ventilation, mine gases, fires and explosion, mining techniques, mine mechanization, oil and opencast mines safety, standard setting and policy planning. The support activities are broadly divided into three categories: (i) Planned support:

This plan support is provided to field offices on:

⇒ a current issue which has emerged into an enforcemental problem; ⇒ an enforcemental strategy calling for development of monitoring equipments

or techniques; and ⇒ monitoring of quality assurance of external organisation in sampling, pre-

approval testing and other similar activities.

These activities are selected on merit, including improvement of efficiency and safety and future needs.

(ii) Reactive Support:

Reactive Support is provided in response to demands from field offices in areas where:

⇒ In-house assessment and analysis of a problem leads to better understanding of enforcemental problem and helps in determining enforcemental strategy;

⇒ support is required on a technical problem without referring to external agency.

(iii) Testing Services:

This service is provided to the field offices as a sample check on quality control standards and in emergency response situation. Major Programmes:

The major programmes of the S&T plan scheme includes: (1) Occupational Safety:

(a) Monitoring of implementation of the Technical Standards on Support system in Bord and Pillar workings.

(b) Review of standards on stability of multi-seam workings. (c) Review of standards on detection, control, dealing with and protective

measures against fire and revision of standards/guidelines. (d) Assessment of hazards associated with mine mechanization and

standardization of monitoring techniques and control measures.

(i) Standardization of prototype test(s) houses for testing powered supports and hydraulic/friction props.

(ii) Standardization of Ultrasonic Testing Techniques and formulation of Acceptance & Rejection Norms.

(iii) Testing of fire resistant hydraulic oils. (2) Occupational Hygiene and Health

(a) Standardization of techniques for monitoring and control of occupational hazards from noise, air borne dust, mine gases and poor illumination.

(b) Review and standards of medical examinations. (c) Review and standardization of procedures for surveillance of

occupational disease already established. (B) Development of Mines Rescue Services: This plan scheme aims at promoting proper rescue services in mining industry. The scheme envisages critical appraisal of design characteristics of rescue apparatus and self rescuers, evaluation of field performance of the same, inquiry into accidents in use of rescue apparatus, inspection of rescue stations/rescue rooms organizing rescue competitions, monitoring formulation of emergency plan by the management of all underground mines and to deal with applications for grant of permissions/approval/relaxation under the Mines Rescue Rules, 1984. Major Programme: → Installation of testing facility for SCBA of Resuscitator → Creation of Rescue Data bases

(i) CMR/OMR/MMR/ dBase (ii) RRAE databases

6.3 Strengthening of Machinery for Conduct of Statutory Examinations

(SSEX)” This scheme was conceived during the 9th plan period and was principally approved by the Ministry of Labour. However, due to various procedural and other problems, the work could not start till the penultimate year of the current plan period. Feasibility study vis-à-vis computerization of the examination system has been done. The main objective of the scheme is to strengthen and improve the efficiency of the statutory examination system by:

Developing a quick and transparent system of examination with the aid of computer and associated information technology.


16

Review of the examination system in vogue, in order to eliminate redundancy and standardize procedures.

Developing computerized application-processing system, issue of certificate and maintenance of records connected therewith.

6.4 Improving efficiency by providing infrastructure facilities in DGMS (PIF) The purpose of the scheme is to develop infrastructure facility by providing own office and residential complexes to the officers and staff members, providing better communication facilities and office equipment and furnishing of offices. The facility so created would improve the efficiency of officers and staff members of the DGMS. The scheme also envisages improvement of enforcement of safety laws in the mining industry by strengthening the legal set up in DGMS. The scheme proposes creation of adequate no. of posts in the legal set up and also provision of infrastructural facilities to enable the legal officers to play their role in enforcemental activities. The legal set up so created will also be utilized for rendering advice to organisation on legal matters and also providing legal assistance to the Board of Mining Examinations. 6.5 Modernization of Information Database Relating to Mine Management

(MID)(Merged) The purpose of the scheme is to reach beyond current efforts to reinvent DGMS by identifying breakthrough strategies that rethink the core value of key services, improve service delivery, reduce cost and redefine administrative processes. The application of e-Governance to the processes of functioning of DGMS will bring about simple, moral, accountable, responsive and transparent governance. It will help the organization in managing its operations at various phases of governance making the entire process user friendly. The objective of the scheme would be:

(i) Identification of mines safety information need and identify the boundaries of an e-governance system;

(ii) develop a core group within the organization to formulate and use computer based ‘MIS’ vis-à-vis mines safety;

(iii) develop modules of need-based software with the help of experts; (iv) create infrastructure to implement computer based systems including

establishment of LAN/WAN, establish electronic communication channels;

(v) establish a comprehensive protocol for use of such system; (vi) establishment and operation of modern survey system and electronic

storage of mine plans; and (vii) establish a comprehensive training system for officers of DGMS in

use of such new systems.

7. Accident Experience 7.1 During the year 2006, there were 82, 57 and 5 fatal accidents involving 141, 70

and 5 fatalities in coal, non-coal and oil mines respectively, the number of fatal accidents during the previous year 2005 being 99, 55 and 2 for coal, non-coal and oil mines respectively.

7.2 Table 8 indicates the trend in 10-yearly average number of fatal accidents and

that of fatality rates per thousand persons employed from 1901 to 2000 and the 6-yearly average for the period 2001 to 2006, separately for coal and non-coal mines. For coal mines, a consistent decline is observed in the 10-yearly average number of accidents per year since the 1950s and in the 10-yearly average number of fatalities since the 1970s. The same trend continued for the 6-yearly period 2001-2006. For non-coal mines, the average number of accidents and fatalities have remained more or less at the same level during the last three decades ending in 2000 while the 6-yearly averages have fallen during the period 2001-2006.

7.3 Table 9 shows the variation over the last ten years in the number of fatal and

serious accidents separately for coal, metal and oil mines. In all the three sectors, the number of accidents (fatal and serious taken together) has decreased in 2006 compared to 2005 except in oil mines.

7.4 Mineral-wise trends in annual death rates per 1000 persons employed during

the last decade are shown in Table 10 for major minerals while Table 11 shows the mineral-wise break-up of accidents and casualties during the year 2006. It is seen from Table 10 that in the year 2006, among the important non-coal minerals, death rate was the highest for Limestone mines. From Table 11 it is seen that of the 70 deaths reported from metalliferous mines, 22 occurred in Iron-ore mines, 15 in Limestone mines, 4 in Stone quarries, 1 each in Galena & Sphalarite and gold mines and 25 in others. In oil mines 5 fatal accidents occurred during the year 2006.

7.5 Trends in serious injury rates, as well as death rates, appear in Tables 12, 14

& 16 for coal, metal and oil mines respectively. The average annual number of serious injuries in coal mines has increased from 673 during the five year period 1997-2001 to 824 during the five year period 2002-2006. For metalliferous mines, this average has come down from 219 during 1997-2001 to 134 during 2002-2006. For oil mines, the average annual number of serious injuries during 1997-2001 was 23 as compared to 24 during 2002-2006. Place wise trends in death and serious injury rates are shown for coal mines in Table 13 and for metalliferous mines in Table 15.

7.6 Tables 17 to 20 give cause-wise and place-wise figures of fatal and serious

accidents in coal and non-coal mines during the years 2004 to 2006. The tables 17, 18, 19 and 20 show that:


18

In coal mines:

Number of fatal accidents due to ground movement involving roof fall and side fall accidents are 33, 25 and 17 for the year 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively. Roof and side fall accidents accounted for about 21% of all fatal accidents during the year 2006.

Roof fall fatal accidents decreased in number from 18 in 2005 to 13 in 2006. About 16% of all fatal accidents in 2006 were due to roof fall alone.

The number of fatal accidents due to dumper has decreased from 16 in 2005 to 12 in 2006 which accounted for about 14.6% of the total accidents. Rope haulage accounted 9.8%, other machineries 19.5% and other causes 20.8% during the year 2006.

Fall of persons, the dominant cause of serious accidents, accounted for about 26%, followed by rope haulage 22% during the year 2006.

Serious accidents due to fall of objects accounted for about 17% of all serious accidents during the year 2006.

In non-coal mines:

The number of fatal accidents due to dumper was 10 during the year 2006 and same as 2005 which is about 16% of the all fatal accidents during 2006.

Fall of sides caused 11 fatal accidents in 2006 as compared to 6 in 2005. Proportion of such fatal accidents increased to 18% in 2006 from 11% in 2005.

During 2006, there were 14 fatal accidents due to fall of persons and 3 fatal accidents due to explosives thereby accounting for 23% and 5% of all fatal accidents respectively.

The two main frequent causes of serious accidents in non-coal mines in 2006 were fall of objects and fall of persons, they accounting for about 23% and 27% respectively of all serious accidents in 2006.

Serious accidents arising from dumpers, truck/tanker and other machineries accounted for about 28% of all serious accidents in 2006.
