The aim of the article is to assess danger of coal production in mines by risk characteristics. F/N curves for the past 70-years period (1943-2012) and 21-years period (1992-2012) empirically demonstrate the severities and frequencies of fatal accidents in coal mining. The empirical F/N curve is compared to risk tolerability criteria, evidencing unacceptably high level of social risk for coal-mine staff.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
