NIOSH Mining VideoHandling Explosives in Underground Mines |
January 1998 |
Part construction crew, part demolition crew: underground miners deal with both creation and destruction in a typical day. Though explosives are safer than ever before, caution is still needed when dealing with such a powerful force. This 1998 video teaches new miners basic safety rules to keep from hurting themselves or others while handling explosives. To order contact Theodore D. Teske or Jim Derby at the NIOSH Spokane Research Laboratory. NIOSH Mining videos can also be found on the NIOSH Videos page. |
