Roof bolting without injury. [Glossary included]
The art of roof bolting is an important segment of the mining cycle in underground coal mining. Too many accidents occur that can be attributed to the roof bolting process. Too often the Roof Bolter Operator is not cognizant of the art, or drilling techniques, nor the safety procedures to perform the duties effectively and safely. This manual offers those safety pointers and drilling techniques for the Roof Bolter Operator and the Roof Bolter Helper. The manual will instruct the Operators on the operational functions and the lubrication of the Bolter, the concept of roof bolting and emphasize the safety-oriented steps for roof-bolting safely. Conversely the manual will point out the hazards of poor safety habits that lead to accidents and injuries. If the Roof Bolter crew heed the recommendations described herein, they will provide a safe working environment for all of the employees at the mine. Chapters have been process separately for inclusion on the data base.
