OSTI ID:7113847
Approximately six lives a year are lost in underground coal mines while cleaning up roof falls and resupporting the roof. A study was conducted to obtain possible insight into the causes of resupport accidents and develop methods of reducing fatalities. Data from 47 coal mine roof-fall resupport accidents that resulted in 62 injuries or fatalities and occurred from 1966 through 1974 were compiled and analyzed to identify critical hazards and problems. Problem areas where present technology is inadequate and where additional work is needed were identified.
