Accident Prone <strong>Mines</strong>:<br />
A modified approach for identification <strong>of</strong> accident-prone mines was adopted; data from all the<br />
mines <strong>of</strong> eleven coal companies were collected. In-depth analysis <strong>of</strong> all fatal and serious<br />
accidents that occurred in all 519 coal mines and 10 lignite mines <strong>of</strong> the country during the<br />
periods 2005-<strong>2009</strong> were made and based on the outcome <strong>of</strong> the study, the accident-prone<br />
mines were identified. This was done with a view to identify hazard potential <strong>of</strong> such mines and<br />
draw up action programmes for formulation <strong>of</strong> mitigating measures through collective efforts <strong>of</strong><br />
Mine Management, Trade Unions and the Government.<br />
The following table shows the number <strong>of</strong> accident-prone mines identified in different coal<br />
companies in last five years.<br />
