(d) The  provisions  of  Mines  Act,  1952,  Subordinate  Rules  and  Regulations  made thereunder are being administered for ensuring the safety in coal mines by DGMS.  Coalmine owners  are  responsible  for  implementing  these  provisions.      These  provisions  are  reviewed from time to time by DGMS taking inputs from experience of officials of DGMS, industry & academic institutions and the recommendations of the tripartite committees.

To  check  the  recurrence  of  such  incidents  in  future  the  following  steps  have  been taken by the Government:

(i) Safety audit of all the coalmines has been taken up.

(ii) Strengthening of Internal Safety Organisations (ISO) in coalmines/coal companies.

(iii)           To promote and propagate safety awareness in mines, National Safety Awards (Mines),  National  Conference  on  Safety  in  Mines  is  organized  by  DGMS.  The recommendations of National Conference on Safety in Mines go a long way in enhancing safety of mine workers.

(iv) Workers  participation  and  sensitization  in  matters  of  safety  are  ensured through  training  in  safety  and  by  initiatives  like  celebration  of  safety  week  and  safety campaigns, etc.

(v) Safety training programmes are organized among Managers and Supervisors for improving safety standards in mines.

(vi) CIL  has  taken  up  a  training  programme  with  Safety  in  Mines  Testing  and Research Station (SIMTARS) of Govt of Queensland, Australia for training of trainers.

(vii) Facilitates introduction of Risk Assessment Techniques aimed at elimination of risks and to ensure safety of workmen.

(viii) Facilitates  introduction  of  standard  operating  procedures  to  avoid  unsafe practices in mines.

(ix) A special safety awareness campaign has been launched to increase awareness of  mine  workers.  i.e.,  'Safety  is  My  Responsibility'  and  steps  have  been  taken  to propagate the same.

(x) Time to time, DGMS Circulars are issued as guidelines for safer operations in identified thrust areas.

(xi) Risk based  inspection  system  through  Shram  Suvidha  Portal  has  been implemented for coal mines and for metal mines is under progress.

(xii) Adoption of online safety monitoring systems,  establishment of geo-technical cells, installation of gas chromatographs for monitoring and analysing underground mine gases, installation of proximity warning devices to avoid collision of heavy earth moving machinery,  environmental  tele-monitoring  systems  in  all  degree-III  gassy  mines,  slope monitoring  systems  for  overburden  benches  and  OB  dumps  etc.  are  some  of  the  other important  steps  taken  by  coal  companies  for  improving  safety  of  miners  and  mining operations in the coal mines.
