Description:Some instability can be expected at any surface mining operation, but the unexpected movement of ground endangers lives and destroys property. Unstable slopes are hazardous for miners who work on or beneath them, and large-scale failures have the potential to cause catastrophic loss of life. Between 1995 and 2003, 42 miners died in slope failure accidents at surface mines in the United States. Rocks falling from highwalls above the victims caused 24 of these deaths. While small rockfalls can cause fatal injuries to workers on foot away from the protection of large machinery, shovel operators and drillers suffered the greatest number of fatalities in massive highwall failures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
