Hey everyone,
I've done a fair bit of caving and lead & slate mine exploring. I've been reading about some coal mines in my local area and I have a few questions about additional safety considerations in a coal environment:
- gas/bad air - I assume it's good practice to take a gas detector with you, what are the recommendations and tips with buying and using one?
- lights - does everyone use atex lights or are well made non atex lights fine?
- access - I assume it's the same situation as caving and other mine exploring? Unless owned by the coal authority, in which case I guess it's just tresspass?
- anything else I should know?
Thanks in advance!
Aidan
