co2 mining

Despite only accounting for 0.1% of the workforce around the world, mining is responsible for 0.3% of work-related deaths. This shows that even with all our advances in technology, this age-old profession is still a seriously hazardous undertaking. Added to this is the fact that the key mining nations, such as China and Russia, don’t follow safety practices as stringently, treating life as cheap, and precautions as a form of luxury. The result is around twelve thousand deaths a year.
