Mines Safety Week Celebrations
  • Under the guidance of the Directorate General of Mines Safety, safety week is celebrated every year in Gujarat.
  • Every year has seen more participation, enthusiasm and awareness.
  • Various trade tests, competitions, and award ceremonies take place.
  • The Swachhata and Silicosis Awareness week is also celebrated.
Scientific Studies
  • Studies and monitoring programs are carried out to determine slope stability and ensure the safety of working pit slopes, ultimate pit slopes, and dump slopes.
  • Reputed institutions like IIT-Kharagpur, CSIR-CIMFR, IIT (ISM), IIT (BHU) carry out these scientific studies.
  • Further studies also take place to improve equipment safety.
Slope Stability Radar (SSR)
  • On 10th March 2018 at Amod’s Lignite mine, GMDC successfully installed and commissioned a Slope Stability Radar (SSR), a major milestone for the company.
  • The SSR monitors in real time the displacement of strata and predicts any failure well in advance.
  • It provides sufficient time for workers and machinery to withdraw from slope-prone areas.
Safety Management Plans (SMPs)
  • Aligned with regulation 104, all of GMDC’s mines have well-defined SMPs.
  • SMPs enable hazard identification and risk assessment and help with self-regulation.
