Background: The audit of the Mineral and Coal Mining Safety Management System aims to obtain an overview of the level of implementation of the mineral and coal mining management system, assess the capacity of the mining system to ensure compliance with the legislative requirements, evaluate the effectiveness of mining systems in meeting the set targets and identify the potential application of the MSMS to be enhanced at the P.T. Putra Perkasa Eternal Site of PT Makmur Lestari Primatama from the period January 1, 2023 until December 2023. The purpose of this study was to find out the implementation of the safety management system in nickel mining of PT. Putra Perkasa Abadi Job Site MLP in 2023. Method: This type of research is quantitative descriptive. The research conducted in December 2023. Compliance measurements are carried out on 7 elements consisting of Policy, Planning, Organization and Personnel, Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation and Follow-up Action, Documentation, and Management Review and Performance Improvement. Data collection methods are carried out with interviews, observations, and document explanations. Results: The policy element achieved 74% compliance from the maximum achievable value. Although the maximum value has not been reached, it still shows a good level of compliance. The planning element achieves 59% compliance from the maximum achievable value. Further evaluation is needed to understand the factors that lead to this achievement. Organizational and staff elements reach 51% compliance from the maximum value. Implementation elements reach 38% compliance. There is great potential for improvement in the implementation of this element. The monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up elements reached 46% compliance. More effort is needed to improve performance in this regard. Despite low maximum values, documentation elements reach 58% compliance, indicating a good focus on document management but still requiring optimization. Management review elements and performance improvements reached 46% compliance. This aspect can be a focus of improvement to improve overall performance. Overall, the management system achieved 49% compliance from the maximum value. Conclusion: In general, PT Putra Perkasa Abadi Job Site MLP has procedures and mechanisms that support the creation of a mining safety system. However, improvements are needed that can be directed to elements with lower compliance scores. It requires optimization of each element consisting of Policy, Planning, Organization and Personnel, Implementation, Monitoring, Evaluation and Follow-up, Documentation, as well as management review and performance improvement. Data collection methods were carried out using interviews, observation and document review.

“…With the depletion of shallow coal resources, many mines in China have shifted to deep mining. Deep coal seams are subject to high geostress and various mining activities, increasing the frequency and severity of coal-rock dynamic disasters, which pose a significant threat to safe mining [1][2][3]. Due to the demands of underground operation, the monitoring and early warning methods for coal-rock dynamic disasters based on geophysical techniques have shown clear advantages and experienced rapid development.…”

Monitoring and preventing coal–rock dynamic disasters are essential for ensuring sustainable and safe mining. Induced charge monitoring, as a geophysical method, enables sustainable monitoring of coal–rock deformation and failure. The induced charge signal contains crucial information regarding damage evolution, making it imperative and important to explore its temporal characteristics for effective monitoring and early warnings of dynamic disasters in deep mining. This paper conducted induced charge monitoring tests at different loading rates, investigating the multifractal characteristics of induced charge signals during the early and late stages of loading. It proposed the maximum generalized dimension D(q)max, multifractal spectrum width Δα, and height difference Δf as multifractal parameters for induced charge signals. Additionally, quantitative characterization of coal damage was performed, studying the variation patterns of signal multifractal characteristic parameters with coal damage evolution. This study revealed the induced charge signal of the coal body multifractal characteristics in the whole loading process. In the late loading stage, the double logarithmic curve demonstrated some nonlinearity compared to the previous period, indicating the higher non-uniformity of the induced charge time series. D(q)max and Δα in the late loading stage were higher than those in the early stage and increased with loading rates. As coal damage progressed, there were significant jumps of D(q)max in both the early and late stages of damage, with larger jumps indicating richer fracture events in the coal. The width Δα showed an overall trend of increase–decrease–increase with coal damage evolution, while the height difference Δf fluctuated around zero in the early stage of damage development but increased significantly during severe damage and destruction. By studying the multifractal characteristics of induced charge signals, this study provides insights for the early identification of coal–rock dynamic disasters.

Mining was considered as a dangerous job which has now turned into much safer employment with the development of automation and communication techniques in mines. In mining, the equipment, tools, and techniques have changed significantly and continue to transform. This review work explores numerous such emerging problems and opportunities in different mining circumstances. The occupational safety and health management methods, as well as risk control technology allied with the mining industry, includes day‐to‐day management of operations, identification and assessment of risks, premature warning and active risk monitoring, etc. The research work in the safe and sustainable environment reveals that the major accidents occur due to natural calamity, human error, the control of which would ensure a sustainable and safe working environment for miners to a considerable extent. The present study proposed a smart and sustainable framework for a safe and clean environment for emerging safety and ergonomics issues through automated mining concept. The proposed framework has been developed by reviewing the previous research work related to mine safety, mine hazard, health, ergonomic issues, and mine automation.
