Course Objectives:

Mining industry is one of the industries causing environmental pollution and chances of severe accidents. Certain bindings are imposed through regulations on mining industry for safe workings and to control hazards associated with mines. Students are required to be more acquainted with the major problems associated for mine worker in connection with comfortable working conditions and various sources of problem creating agents.
This course aims to provide domain knowledge, dealing with sources of hazards in Mines and environmental pollution due to Mining.
