The analysis of the technological and professional danger factors specific to the works of exploitation of useful rocks from quarries, which can generate risk of accident and / or technological breakdown

Abstract

The exploitation of ore deposits or useful rocks, surface operations, implies the application of rigorous technologies regarding the configuration of the operating steps, the safety berms and the slopes, as well as the access ways to working front. The required measures to carry out drilling, shooting and evacuation activities involve both issues related to technological security and safety and health at work for the personnel involved in these activities, mining establishments being required to draw up appropriate instructions for the situation on the ground, covering both technological and SSH issues. In some situations, accidents or technological failures have occurred due to the failure of fully implement these provisions which, sometimes, have also resulted in human casualties. The paper aims at presenting 2 case studies to which INCD INSEMEX Petrosani carried out technical and scientific expertise for the produced events.
