Let’s Talk Shortcuts…….. (Dated 03/2009)
Every time you take a “short cut”, you put more than yourself at risk. When anyone chooses to take a chance and take a shortcut by ignoring safety, they put everyone in the mine at risk!!

Mine Elevators
- Several entrapment accidents have occurred recently where mine elevators have stopped in the
shaft hoistway or have failed to properly align with the landing such that the doors would not
open. Elevators at mines and preparation plants share equipment common to elevators found in
office buildings, schools, and hospitals.

Ventilation Information Safety Flyer
- Bleeder systems are ventilation networks used to ventilate pillared areas in underground coal mines. Effective bleeder systems protect miners from the hazards associated with methane, oxygen-deficient air, and other gases which may otherwise accumulate in these mined-out areas. Failure to properly examine, maintain, and evaluate the bleeder system has led to accidents, including fires and explosions, resulting in mine closures, injuries, and even death.
