Dangerous and harmful factors and preventive measures for small open quarry

1 Major risk factors exist

1.1 Stope slope instability

Due to improper mining methods and methods, the slope is too high and too steep, and the dangerous stone and pumice are not cleared in time, or there is no segmentation mining, or “slipping” phenomenon from the step, or due to poor ore stability or geological structure changes. Under the external forces such as rock drilling, blasting vibration, rain erosion, strong wind current, etc., it causes dangerous factors such as slope collapse and landslide, which endanger the safety of workers' lives and equipment.

1.2 Blasting

Due to the explosive nature of the explosive itself, the uncertainty of the explosive during the explosion process, and the actual use of the explosives, detonators and other blasting equipment during the actual production process, due to the detonation of the fuse, the improper handling after blasting, Risk factors that threaten the safety of personnel and equipment and property, such as lack of vigilance, unclear signal, insufficient safety distance, flying stone injury, violation of regulations or human error.

1.3 Fall

In the mining operation, mining, pre-blasting perforation, charging, point firing, etc., due to non-protective measures, incomplete protective measures or damage, etc., the risk factors for the safety of the body and life of the personnel caused by the fall of the operator

1.4 Electric shock

During the operation, operation and maintenance of electrical equipment facilities, the operator lacks knowledge of safe electricity use and violates electrical safety operating procedures; the voltage and electrical equipment are not in accordance with the environmental conditions; the equipment with unqualified safety performance is used. , appliances, lack of necessary protective devices; improper use of equipment, overload operation; equipment and line installation failure, inspection, poor maintenance, diseased operation and other dangerous factors that endanger the safety of personnel.

1.5 Mechanical injury

Excavation, crushing, transmission and other mechanical (static) parts, tools, workpieces directly contact with the human body caused by pinching, collision, shearing, entanglement, twisting, grinding, cutting, stabbing, overturning and other personal injuries and equipment accidents. The main cause is the hazard caused by personnel mishandling or equipment defects.

1.6 Object Strike

The object generates power under the action of gravity or other external force, and hits the human body to cause personal injury or death. In the open quarry, due to poor safety management, inadequate safety education, mental paralysis, lack of concentration during operation, illegal operation, or improper open-pit mining methods and methods, there are phenomena such as “Umbrellas, Eagles” in the workplace, or The work surface of the workplace is not flat, causing damage to equipment and rocks falling from high places and hitting the human body and equipment.

1.7 Fire

The fuses, as well as the high temperature, open flame, and improper storage of flammable combustibles in machinery and vehicles may cause fire, personal injury and equipment damage.

1.8 Water damage

An open quarry must establish an effective water and sewerage system and take necessary measures based on leakage of surface and groundwater. Proper flood control measures must be taken at the total entrance and exit of the quarry, the drainage wellhead and the work site. If the drainage facilities and equipment are unreasonable; the power supply system of the drainage equipment is faulty; no waterproof measures are taken; if the rainfall suddenly increases, causing the accumulation of water in the quarry, etc., the stability of the slope will be destroyed, and the landslide will be formed. Collapse, causing human safety and mechanical equipment to be damaged and damaged, resulting in economic losses.

1.9 Vehicle transportation damage

Although the mine vehicles only carry out transportation operations in the mining area, if the awareness of the importance of safe driving and driving safety is insufficient, ideological paralysis, illegal driving, poor management and vehicle sickness operation, it will cause vehicle injury accidents. Vehicle damage mainly includes: collision, scratching, overturning, crashing, fire and handling, falling during loading and unloading, and object striking. The main causes of vehicle injury accidents are illegal driving, negligent care, poor condition, poor road conditions, poor environment and inadequate transportation management system.

1.10 debris flow

After the ore is stripped, the gravel and soil are not cleaned up in time. If the dump site is improperly sited, and no drainage or anti-scouring measures are taken, mudslides may form, which may cause serious harmful consequences.

2 major harmful factors

2.1 Dust

The dust in the production environment is extremely harmful. Its existence will not only lead to deterioration of the production environment, increase wear and tear of mechanical equipment, shorten the service life of mechanical equipment, and more importantly, endanger human health and cause various occupational diseases. In the open quarry, during the operations of rock drilling, blasting, loading and unloading, crushing, screening, etc., the dust generated will cause occupational injuries to the workers.

2.2 Noise

Noise can cause occupational noise deafness or high incidence of neurasthenia, cardiovascular disease and digestive system, which will increase the operator's error rate and cause serious accidents. The noise of open quarries is mainly caused by rock drilling operations, air compressors, crushing and blasting moments. The noise intensity generated by rock drilling operation is relatively large (above 90 decibels), long time, and close to people, which is harmful. When the air compressor is running, the noise is about 95 decibels, but it is far away from people. It is not large; the noise generated by the crushing is about 90 decibels. After the shock absorption measures are taken and a certain distance is attenuated, it is not harmful to the human body; although the noise generated by the blasting is strong, it is instantaneous, generally far from the human, and harmful. weak.

2.3 high temperature

In the open air operation, in addition to the solar radiation in the summer, it also has to withstand the heat released by the heated ore, the ground and surrounding objects, which is easy to cause heatstroke and sun UV rays to burn and burn. In addition, high temperature and high temperature environment can affect the body temperature regulation of workers, water and salt metabolism and circulatory system, digestive system, urinary system and so on. High temperature can also inhibit the central nervous system of the human body, so that the operator can distract the attention during the operation, and the ability to work in the muscle is reduced, which may lead to an accident.

2.4 frostbite

In the cold season in the north, long-term outdoor, field work and indoors without heating facilities, due to extreme low temperature and humidity, will cause local frostbite, lower body temperature, numbness of hands and feet, inattention, extended time, and operation. The rate of error increases, and even hallucinations have a certain impact on the cardiovascular system and respiratory system, increasing the possibility of accidents.
