Abstract

The work in underground coal mines is one of the most difficult activities. General characteristic of working condition these mines are contained in the fact that all coal mines are in the low mechanized level which produce heavy manual work, low productivity and high financial costs. High risk level of injuries and occupational diseases are special problems in these working conditions. The workers disability is also huge problem. All of these produce a production and financial loses.

Based on a comprehensive overview of the natural and geological conditions in the coal seams, technical and technological solutions for exploitation in active mines and injuries analysis in this paper, the frequency of injuries with the basic influencing parameters for the period 2014-2016 is given.

In the analysis of this topic, the methods of analysis and synthesis were mainly used, and real parameters were obtained and from them high quality conclusions were coming out.
