The gas emission control in the mines is operated by ventilation and degassing systems that ensure the aerological safety of the mines or minimize the aerological risks. The ventilation system of the mine and its individual sites includes a significant number of technical devices and equipment, and the air tubes are mainly mining workings, the condition of which determines the quality of the ventilation network (its capacity) and depends on a number of mining factors. Similarly, one of the most important elements of the degassing system, which includes its own chain of technological equipment, are wells, and in some cases, mining workings. Thus, mine ventilation and degassing systems cannot be attributed to purely technical systems, since they include mining elements characterized by high variability of the determining parameters. To assess their reliability, it is necessary to use various combined methods that include additional characteristics in relation to the mining component. At the same time, the reliability of technical devices that ensure the functioning of mine ventilation and degassing systems largely determines the efficiency (stability and reliability) of these systems and, consequently, affects the level of aerological risks. The described approach to assessing the reliability of ventilation and degassing systems of coal mines when analyzing aerological risks is based on the developed system of risk indicators for the methane factor and will allow determining the risk dynamics in automatic mode based on monitoring the parameters of the ventilation and degassing system state.

Currently, the mining industry should be transferred to a risk-based approach in providing state supervision of industrial safety. “Regulatory guillotine” provides for the abolition of all current regulatory and methodological documents in the industry. However, vital risks should be identified and methods of their assessment and safety management based on these assessments should be proposed. The regulatory framework should become more logical and concise. However, the specifics of the mining industry requires not only a reduction in the volume of documents, but also a serious study in terms of ensuring systematic safety requirements, harmonization of industry and industry standards. In the context of a risk-based approach, all control activities go to the level of production units, while the role of personnel qualification is growing, since organizational risks are prevailing in the mining industry. Therefore, training should be one of the important tasks of the reform of the supervision of industrial safety. It will not work out only through the system of additional professional education, because In this system, personnel are mainly trained at the top managerial level, and the lower and middle levels of mining management are carried out by university graduates. This, in turn, requires an increase in the level of professional training of mountain university graduates, which is difficult to implement in the current system of basic engineering education. The current law” on education “ implements a system of constant quality reduction, which requires its adjustment.
