Assessment of the Risk of Technical Incidents, Disturbances and Damages at Lupeni Mine

The assessment of technical incident risk, disturbance or technical damage at Lupeni Mine comes in the context in which the possibility of a power failure is very likely due to very old coal mining methods, very precarious facilities and equipment and lack of investment. The danger of electric shock is imminent and poses a clear threat to the safety of the workers. In some unfortunate cases, failure to comply with electrical safety can cause the risk of life-threatening explosions of underground workers. The authors assessed the risk of technical incident, technical disturbance or technical damage and developed recommendations on how to eliminate such risks.
