ABSTRACT
Table 4.1 Potential environmental impacts from opencast mining of lignite and oil shale
Figure 4.1 Selective placement of overburden in truck and shovel operations of an open pit mine
reduce the chance of mining-related accidents and hazards. The probability of injury or death during lignite mining is dependent upon a number of factors including : w site size;
size location; type of machinery used; quantity of material mined; number of workers per unit of material produced.
