INTRODUCTION Mining has been a hazardous occupation. The history of mine accidents is a tragic and sobering reminder of the inherent risks associated with mining operations. Mining accidents continue to occur due to the complex nature of mining operations and the ever-present risks associated with them. Throughout the centuries, mining accidents have claimed the lives of countless miners and left lasting impacts on communities. Despite advancements in mine safety, challenges persist. Factors such as human error, inadequate safety protocols, inadequate training, and unforeseen geological conditions can still lead to accidents.
Additionally, the mining industry's expansion into remote and challenging environments presents new risks and safety challenges that need to be addressed.
Safety in Mining Safety in mines is of paramount importance and holds a significant place in the mining industry. The primary objective of ensuring safety in mines is to safeguard the lives of miners. Mining operations can be inherently dangerous due to various factors such as unstable rock formations, underground gases, the presence of flammable materials, and heavy machinery. The hazardous nature of mining operations necessitates strict adherence to safety protocols and practices to protect the well-being of miners and prevent accidents.
The development of new technologies and safety practices has played a vital role in mitigating risks associated with mining operations. The introduction of safety lamps, ventilation systems, and safety regulations significantly improved working conditions and reduced the occurrence of accidents. Implementing rigorous safety measures, including proper training, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and regular inspections, reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, and fatalities. While significant strides have been made to improve safety standards and reduce accidents, the mining industry continues to face inherent risks. Through ongoing efforts, technological advancements, and a collective commitment to safety, the goal remains to achieve Zero Hazard Potential and protect the well-being of miners.
Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS)
Entry 55 of the Union List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India grants exclusive legislative authority to the central government over matters related to mines and mineral development. This includes the power to enact laws, formulate policies, and make regulations concerning mines safety. Under this provision, the central government has established the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) as the primary regulatory authority responsible for ensuring mines safety across the country.
The DGMS operates under the Ministry of Labour and Employment and is tasked with formulating policies, setting safety standards, and conducting inspections to ensure compliance with mines safety regulations. It plays a pivotal role in promoting a safe and healthy working environment in mines by enforcing statutory provisions, issuing guidelines, and providing technical expertise.
Statistical Analysis & Numbers: Key Evaluation of Trends in Non-Coal Mine Accidents SANKET The DGMS is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the Mines Act, 1952, which focuses on the safety, health, and welfare of workers employed in mines. It conducts regular inspections of mines to assess safety conditions, identify potential hazards, and ensure that proper safety measures are in place. The DGMS also conducts investigations into mine accidents and takes appropriate action to prevent future occurrences.
With the consistent efforts of (i) legislative measures and Actions taken after inspections like Pointing out contraventions, Withdrawal of permission, Issue of improvement notices, Prohibition of employment, Informal stoppages, Prosecution in the court of law, and (ii)
proactive measures/ promotional initiatives a significant improvement in the safety status of Indian mines has been achieved. For coal mines, a consistent decline is observed in the 10- yearly average number of accidents per year since the 1950s and the 10-yearly average number of fatalities since the 1970s. The same trend continued for the last 10- yearly period 2011-2020. For non-coal mines, the average numbers of accidents and fatalities have remained more or less at the same level during the period from 1971-1980 to 1991-2000, while the last ten years' averages during the period 2001-2010 to 2011-2020 have slightly decreased in the number of accidents and fatalities.
In addition to inspections and investigations, the DGMS plays a proactive role in creating awareness about mines safety through training programs, seminars, and workshops. It provides guidance to mine operators and workers on adopting best practices, using modern equipment, and implementing safety protocols to minimize risks and prevent accidents.
Furthermore, the DGMS actively engages with industry stakeholders, trade unions, and other relevant organizations to gather inputs, address concerns, and promote a collaborative approach towards improving mines safety. It regularly reviews and updates safety standards, taking into account technological advancements, industry practices, and international benchmarks.
Through its efforts, the DGMS plays a crucial role in protecting the lives and well-being of workers in the mining industry. It strives to create a culture of safety, raise awareness about occupational hazards, and ensure that mines operate in compliance with prescribed safety norms.
Directorate General of Mines Safety, DGMS in short, is the Regulatory Agency under the Ministry of labour and employment, Government of India in matters pertaining to occupational safety, health and welfare of persons employed in mines (Coal, Metalliferous and oil-mines). The organization has its headquarters at Dhanbad (Jharkhand) and is headed by Director General of Mines Safety.

This is supplemented by the report of the enquiry conducted by the Officers of Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). The officers of the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) investigate into the causes and circumstances leading to each and every fatal accident occurred in these mines.
Accidents in the mines are categorized as Fatal Accident, Serious Accident, Dangerous Occurrences and Minor Accidents. Fatal accidents are those in which at least one death is Statistical Analysis & Numbers: Key Evaluation of Trends in Non-Coal Mine Accidents SANKET involved. However, serious injury is defined as any injury which involves the permanent loss of many part or section of the body or use of any part or section of a body, or the permanent loss or incapacity or the fracture of any bone or one or more joints or bones or any phalanges of hand or foot.
Cases in which neither any life is lost nor any person is seriously injured, but could have been occurred had the person been present at the spot are covered in the category of „Dangerous Occurrences‟.
The publication covers the analysis of the fatal accidents and fatalities, serious accidents and injuries occurred and Dangerous Occurrences due to mining activity, for last ten years in different places of the non-coal mines. Based on the places, Mining activity is categorized in three categories viz. Below Ground, Opencast and Above Ground. Cause of these accidents over different point of time, places, mineral wise accidents have also been covered. Cause of accidents in the mines is broadly categorized in mainly nine categories followed by different subcategories may be seen at Miscellaneous Statement 1.
The Publication also includes State-wise, District-wise, DGMS Zone wise, Region wise and mineral wise analysis of accidents, Cause and Had Paras of the Fatal Accidents, a list of all fatal accidents involving four or more deaths and a list of court of enquiry held for different accidents in non-coal mines since 1901 .

DECADAL ANALYSIS (2013 TO 2022)
Fatal Accidents The highest number of fatal accidents occurred in 2013 (58 accidents), with a corresponding total of 74 fatalities.
The number of fatal accidents generally decreased over the years, with a noticeable decline in recent years (2019-2021).
There was a slight increase in both fatal accidents and fatalities in 2022 compared to
2021. However, it remained at lower level as compared to earlier periods (2013 – 2019).
The number of fatalities per fatal accident to assess the severity of the accidents is:
Table 2.1 Year Fatal Accident Fatalities Fatalities per Fatal Accident 1.28 1.15 1.07 1.28 1.50 1.13 1.20 1.25 1.52 1.35 The average number of fatalities per fatal accident, a measure of accident severity, ranged from 1.07 to 1.52 over the analysed period. This suggests that the severity of accidents remained relatively consistent, although there was a notable increase in 2017 and 2021.
Overall, there's a downward trend in the number of fatal accidents and fatalities over the analysed period.
The reduction in fatal accidents and fatalities suggests improved safety practices and regulations in non-coal mines. The trend emphasizes the need to continue implementing effective safety measures to further reduce accidents and fatalities.
Despite the decreasing trend, it's crucial to maintain consistent efforts in safety management to prevent complacency and potential future spikes in accidents.
Summary Statistics:
Total Years: 10 Total Fatal Accidents: 426 Total Fatalities: 539 Mean Fatal Accidents per Year: 42.6 Mean Fatalities per Year: 53.9 Statistical Analysis & Numbers: Key Evaluation of Trends in Non-Coal Mine Accidents SANKET Serious Accidents The highest number of serious accidents as well as seriously injured persons occurred in 2019 with 58 serious accidents and 70 seriously injured persons.
There is a general fluctuating trend in both serious accidents and seriously injured cases Year 2017 had the lowest number of serious accidents and year 2020 had the lowest number of seriously injured cases.
The control over serious injuries in recent years are promising, but attention should still be given to identify underlying causes for the fluctuations.
The number of seriously injured persons per serious accident to assess the severity of the accidents is:
Table 2.2 Year Serious Accident Seriously Injured Seriously Injured per Serious Accident 1.31 1.36 1.46 1.30 1.77 1.46 1.21 1.38 1.16 1.35 The metric of seriously injured cases per serious accident varies between 1.16 and 1.77 over the years.
The metric indicates that, on average, there's approximately 1 seriously injured case for every serious accident. Years with higher values of this metric, such as 2017, may require specific attention to reduce the severity of injuries per accident.
The analysis of serious accidents and seriously injured cases in non-coal mines reveals an overall fluctuating trend close to fatal accident numbers, indicating progress in safety management efforts and further in-depth analysis. The metric of seriously injured cases per serious accident provides valuable insight into the severity of incidents.
