Ngọc Thúy |

With the characteristics of a mine with a lot of methane gas (CH4), Mao Khe Coal Company (Quang Ninh) always puts CH4 fire and explosion prevention first.

Accordingly, the Company has launched and implemented a specialized training program "Receiving and proposing measures to prevent CH4 fire and explosion during the exploitation and excavation process". The program includes 12 classes, expected to train more than 2,700 officers and employees, including managers and employees directly in the basement.

During the classes, students were directly imparted knowledge by experienced lecturers such as Dr. Le Van Thao - former Head of the VGCL's ventilation Department, Dr. Dao Van Chi, and experts from the Center for Mining Science, Technology and Environment, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, etc.

The training content focuses on characteristics, nature, and risk of methane fire and explosion; detection and prevention measures; and at the same time, analyze typical cases and consequences of the CH4 gas fire and explosion incident in underground coal mining.

In addition, the lecturers also shared many practical experiences, situation handling skills and technical solutions to minimize the risk of methane fire and explosion. Thereby, helping each student raise awareness, proactively apply it to daily work, contributing to ensuring safety, maintaining stable and sustainable production.

The training program is considered a practical activity, demonstrating the close concern of Mao Khe Coal Company for labor safety, and is also an important solution to minimize risks in exploiting underground coal with super-grade methane gas.
