developed by RDCIS(SAIL) and installed in
Churi UG Mine, NK Area for field trial.
2. A trapped Miner location System Through
The Earth (TTE) has been installed by M/s.
Adcept in association with CMPDIL in
Central Saunda UG Mine of Barka sayal
Area. This project is very much useful in
case of Mine disaster.
14. SAFETY
As CCL is committed to provide safe
working environment to all its workers, safety is
being given utmost importance consistently. A
planned and Pro-active approach towards safety
in mines as well as in allied operations like
workshops has gone a long way to ensure the
safety of men, material and machines.
Every incident ranging from “Near misses”
to Fatal are enquired into and the
recommendations to prevent recurrence are
circulated. To ensure our preparedness to deal
with crisis, Crisis Management and Safety
Awareness programme has been successfully
conducted at Hazaribagh, N.K and Kathara Area.
Underground Mines :
One of the major causes of Fatal/ Serious
accidents in underground coal mines had been
fall of roof and side. Accordingly, thrust was given
to the support of “Green Roof” with steel supports,
i.e. Steel cogs, Pit props, roof bolts, W-straps, etc.
The culture of “No work other than support work
after blasting” has been introduced. Inspection of
the face, equipments and their required
maintenance are carried out. Check survey was
done in all the mines having potential danger of
inundation. Isolation/ Sectionalisation work of
Underground Mine has been taken on priority to
prevent any incident of fire/ explosion. SCSR
(5000 Nos.) have been procured for use in UG
mines to ensure the safe escape of persons in
case of any emergency. 20 nos. of Mechanised
Roof Bolting Machines have been procured and
distributed among U/G mines for roof bolting to
avoid bed separation. LED cap lamps have been
put in use on trial basis in Saunda D U/G mine
which are lighter in weight and are having better
illumination. Crisis Management & Safety
17
awareness Programmes have been successfully
conducted in areas to deal with any crisis.
Emergency organization plan for every
underground mine with marking of escape route
were formulated and displayed at the mine
entrances to make all the workers aware of the
same. Mock rehearsal/drill was also done to keep
the workers prepared. Lighting of U/G mines has
been improved. U/G mines where depillaring is
done in conjunction with sand, subsidy claim is
made from CCDA.
Opencast mines:
Training has been imparted regularly to
HEMM operators/ maintenance crews for the
operation and maintenance of HEMM and
operation of Fire fighting equipments. Traffic Rule
in Hindi has been prepared and circulated to all
areas. Safe code of practices for HEMM in
opencast mine was prepared in Hindi and has
been circulated in all mines for implementation.
Special Drive is organized on maintenance
practices in workshop. Emergency organization
to deal with fire in OCP and HEMM was made
during the year. Lighting in OC mines has been
improved.
Scientfic Study :

Pressure Quantity Survey by IT BHU, ISM,
IIT Kharagpur and CIMFR is to be done for
all U/G Mines of CCL.
To control Seam Fire, study has been
carried out by CIMFR to deal scientifically.
Gas Survey and Rock Mass Rating (RMR)
determination is being done at VII and VIII
seam of Kuju Colliery.
Determination of RMR of 5th district of lower
Bachra Seam & E-2, E-3and E-4 panel of
upper Bachra Seam of Churi Colliery have
been done.
Determination of RMR of I-seam (sector-I)
of Argada Colliery has been done.
Gas survey for determination of Degree of
Gassiness of I seam (sector-I) of Argada
Colliery has been done.
