Mines are classified as explosive and hazardous areas for some reasons. Firstly, the use of explosives to break rocks and extract minerals can result in unexpected detonations if not carefully managed. Secondly, mines can emit dangerous gases such as methane and coal dust, both of which are highly flammable and can lead to explosions. Additionally, structural instability in underground mines can lead to cave-ins, putting workers’ lives at risk. Moreover, heavy machinery and equipment used in mining operations can cause accidents if not properly maintained and operated. There are also health hazards associated with chemical exposure from mining processes. Given these combined risks, it is essential to have strict safety regulations and protocols in place to protect miners and surrounding communities while ensuring safe and efficient operations.
