A GIS-based Management System for Underground Mining Safety

2010-01-01
Mine safety is of paramount concern to the mining industry. In this sense the generation of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which can administrate relevant spatial data efficiently is a very vital issue for underground mining safety. In an effort to achieve a balance of safety and productivity, GIS can contribute to the creation of a safe working environment in underground (U/G) mining. Such a system should serve to a continuous risk analysis and be designed for applications in case of emergency. The process comprises first the safety concept as the application domain model and then a conceptual model being generated in terms of Entity- Relationship Diagrams. After the implementation of the logical model a user interface is developed and GIS is tested. The analysis should be useful for professionals in Underground Mining Safety field and GIS based applications, or anyone else who may consider utilizing the system for mining industry.

Mine safety is of paramount concern to the mining industry. The generation of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which can administrate relevant spatial data and metadata of underground mining safety efficiently is a very vital issue in this sense. In an effort to achieve a balance of safety and productivity, GIS can contribute to the creation of a safe working environment in underground (U/G) mining. Such a system should serve to a continuous risk analysis and be designed for applications in case of em...
Development of a GIS-based monitoring and management system for underground coal mining safety
Şalap, Seda; KARSLIOĞLU, MAHMUT ONUR; Demirel, Nuray (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-01)
Coal mine safety is of paramount concern to mining industry. Mine accidents have various causes and consequences including catastrophic failure of mine, substantial economic losses and most notably loss of lives. Therefore, any initiative in mine monitoring is of vital importance for progressing safety surveillance and maintenance.
A Quantitative risk assessment methodology for occupational accidents in underground coal mines: a case of Turkish hard coal enterprises
Erdoğan, Hasan Hüseyin; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Mining Engineering (2016)
Underground coal mining is one of the most dangerous occupations throughout the world. The incidence of injuries and the days lost due to accidents in underground coal mines are much greater than industrial average. In general, the reasons behind an underground occupational accident are too complex to analyze. The risk analysis and assessment is the most suitable method to cope with these type of issues. This study proposes a quantitative methodology for the analysis and assessment of risks associated with ...
Development of a virtual reality-based serious game for occupational health and safety training in underground mining
Gürer, Servet; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Sürer, Elif; Department of Mining Engineering (2021-2-5)
Mining is a hazardous multi-disciplinary sector for workers and the working environment. It can be said that one of the most important methods to combat these risks is training. These pieces of training are usually given with traditional methods, but thanks to today’s technological developments, new training methods are also emerging, and simulations and serious games have become widely used tools in training. In this study, MINING-VIRTUAL, which is a very detailed and realistic serious game, is introduced....
Analysis and modelling for risk management for underground coal mines’ safety
Eratak, Özlem Deniz; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2014)
Safety in underground coal mining has become an important issue because of increasing number of accidents. There are many different hazards may cause these accidents and the most efficient method for coping with risks is the use of risk management techniques. In this thesis, accident data including workday losses, age of the injured, organ affected by accident, season, shift and reason of the accident was collected from TKI mines (ELI- Soma Eynez and GLI Tuncbilek) and TTK mines. Those variables were initia...
