The importance of safety in mining
Safety, Health and Environment Expert: Delivery of minerals to factories for processing must be done in complete safety; Therefore, compliance with the standard on the country's roads is an important issue that can help the growth of mineral production.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, one of the most important and main issues in the field of mining is safety and transportation, so there are separate instructions for it. Safety in the transportation of the mining sector is a very important issue that must be addressed. Safety is a key issue that is emphasized in the discussion of mining transportation, as it directly affects production tonnage and work progress. According to the Mining and Transportation Safety Regulations, there are different and special rules for different mining systems that companies are required to comply with.
It is clear that the safety rules for congestion of mining machinery are very different from the safety rules for urban areas; For example, the virtual speed defined for machinery in the mining sector is a maximum of 30 km, and this number varies depending on the type of machine and the width of the route. Regarding the importance of mine design and the view of transportation inside the mine, it should be said that compliance with standards across mine roads is one of the key issues to increase safety and reduce road accidents. The shorter the distance from the mine to the processing site and the more rail transport, the fewer accidents and the higher the speed and tonnage of production.
Intelligent systems that are installed on mining machinery are one of the factors influencing the growth of safety in the mining sector. Mining machines, especially large machines and dump trucks, are widely different from road trucks; Because intelligent systems control them. If a machine is overloaded, has high speeds or has a technical defect, software systems detect and control them. At the moment we need to train skilled drivers in the mining sector. Driving with mining machines is different from other machines; Therefore, each of the mineral complexes must consider the training of their drivers. Additional skills should be considered for them and they should not be trusted just because they are certified.
Delivery of minerals to factories for processing must be done in complete safety; Therefore, compliance with the standard on the country's roads is an important issue that can help the growth of mineral production. I believe that mining machines must be up-to-date and have an intelligent control system installed on them. Some parts must be repaired or replaced at regular intervals, and regular inspections and checks must be performed on them so that we can continue to operate with complete safety.
