Mines are notorious for having areas where explosive materials/substances can emerge from within the earth. Methane is one of the most common gases that can create an ignition. Being in a classified environment, up to thousands of feet below the earth, or thousands of feet inside a mountain and perhaps even in confined spaces can be one of the most challenging jobs a worker can face.While training is important it is even more important to do a full risk assessment of the work area and conditions. Lack of competency evaluating risks can lead to fires and even explosions.
