    On March 25, 1947, a blast in Centralia Coal Mine killed 111 workers. Centralia Coal Mine No. 5 had been operational since 1907 and had never suffered a major disaster. Prior to this event only four shotfirers were killed in 1921 (Fleege). Because of the safety record of the mine, it was considered relatively safe and a disaster seemed remote. The United States had just ended a war and the economy was picking up and production needs were relatively high. Mine operators were being pushed by the federal government to produce as much coal as possible to meet the demands of the robust economy. Because of the demand, safety factors in the mines were not a top priority, therefore, conditions deteriorated tremendously during this period.…

    Coal mines were more unsafe than the factories in many way. Miners´ lungs were often affected by the coal dust that filled the air around them. There were many other problems that made the mines so dangerous. In an article of the working conditions of miners, it is stated, ¨Problems included flooding and the presence of explosive gases (called fire damp). A spark, which could easily come from a miner’s axe or a candle could spell disaster. Underground pit collapses were also common as the mines were only supported by wooden props¨ (historylearning). This shows that the conditions of a miner´s workplace were very risky to his or her life. As you can clearly see, mines were highly dangerous to the…

    At the time of the operation, the workers and the supervisors failed to follow many established construction industry regulations. The first and foremost of these was the guideline $1926.1425. According to the guideline the employer must “….ensure that employees are not in the fall zone under a suspended load.”(OSHA, 2013) When the big blue crane fell on its 9th pick, it took with it three workers that were suspended in a man basket nearby and were giving it directions to put the roof in specific place. Those three workers were killed instantly. Had they been moved clear of the fall zone, they would have survived and the ensuing litigation could have been avoided. In addition to this, guideline $1926.1402 states that operators “must know the basic crane capacities, limitations and job…

Forestry is among the three most dangerous occupations in most countries.…
