Four light vehicle rollovers are also examined, with the primary causes found to be operators not focusing on their task or being distracted. Finally, the document outlines planned assessments of roads, traffic management, and operator competency at mines to improve safety.
Workers were evacuated from Metropolitan Colliery on March 21st 2019 after gas levels rose in the longwall return. At 6:00pm, high CO2 was detected at the longwall face, causing operations to stop. At 7:15pm, all underground workers began withdrawing as CH4 levels continued rising. By 8:45pm all workers had been withdrawn and accounted for on the surface. Gas levels in the longwall return reached 16.1% CH4 and 15.9% CO2, while levels in the main upcast shaft were 3.01% CH4 and 4.16% CO2. Workers remained out of the mine for seven days as 2.9 million cubic metres of 38% CH
This document summarizes airborne dust monitoring results and discusses best practices for dust control in mining operations. Key points:
- Airborne dust monitoring results from 2017-2019 show levels decreasing but some operations still exceeding standards.
- Factors contributing to exceedances include increased stone cutting, poor panel ventilation, and inadequate dust controls when cutting.
- Examples of good dust control initiatives seen in industry include dust awareness training, respiratory protection policies, pre-start checklists, and use of real-time dust monitors.
- Effective dust control requires identifying all sources, implementing controls at each source, monitoring control effectiveness, and having response plans to address changing conditions before exposures occur. Complacency must be avoided to prevent
This document summarizes electrical incident data from various mining industries between 2018-2019. It reports on:
- 74 failures of explosion-protected equipment, primarily related to Ex d and cap lamp equipment.
- 44 electric shock events, most occurring in coal and metals mining. Common causes included welding, low voltage contact and lightning.
- 36 electrical fires identified across coal, metals and extractive mining industries. The majority involved mobile plant such as haul trucks and loaders.
The death of a truck operator in the USA in 2018 at a Peabody mine as a result of a fire highlights the importance of installing fire suppression systems. Firestorm has been involved in the world's largest retrofit of fire supression systems on buses. While buses may be considered simple for fire protection versus a mining machine, buses can carry up to 100 passengers and typically there is a lack of mechanical protection with the majority of the body made of fibreglass, wood and plastics that burn very quickly and are highly toxic. The risk for multiple deaths is therefore a much higher factor compared with a mining machine with one operator. The risk assessment required in AS5062-2016 needs to consider the egress paths available for an operator/passenger to safely evacuate the machine and consideration for actuators and fire extinguishers along this path.
Changes to laws in 2016 required the removal of PFAS and PFOS in both Queensland and South Australia with penalties noe effective for non-compliance. Several NSW mines have been put on notice by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prevent further contamination of waterways. Firestorm is now moving away from exposing our own people to PFAS/PFOS systems to ensure we are providing best practice even though laws are not yet in place for NSW. This presentation looks at what it means if you choose to move away from PFAS/PFOS systems.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
