Valuable minerals are found all over the world. And most often the only way to get to them is by mining into the earth’s ground.
Mine cave-ins or mine collapses are some of the most widely reported mining accidents that happen all over the world.
Often cave-ins occur due to the less predictable hazard of seismic activity - earth tremors and earthquakes that can result in further landslides and earth fall. These cannot always be predicted - but they should be properly assessed and prepared for before even beginning mining activities in that area.
Cave-ins can also be caused by improper mining activities - such as blasting or so-called retreat mining
Better safety regulations in the mining industry are needed to prevent these sorts of disasters.
Mines located in seismically active regions are at even more risk and need stricter regulations.
Advances in technology is one of the best ways to help identify possible seismic activity.
When prevention isn’t an option they must have well-planned and implemented safety procedures in place.
