Abstract
The assessment of technical incident risk, disturbance or technical damage at Lupeni Mine comes in the context in which the possibility of a power failure is very likely due to very old coal mining methods, very precarious facilities and equipment and lack of investment. The danger of electric shock is imminent and poses a clear threat to the safety of the workers. In some unfortunate cases, failure to comply with electrical safety can cause the risk of life-threatening explosions of underground workers. The authors assessed the risk of technical incident, technical disturbance or technical damage and developed recommendations on how to eliminate such risks.
