Explosion safety
measures taken to reduce the probability of an explosive mixture igniting (an explosion).
In the mining industry, this refers to the prevention of an explosion (methane or coal dust) in a mine. The principal ways of reducing the likelihood of an explosion include proper ventilation, deployment of explosion-safe equipment, the use of substances and materials to prevent explosions when carrying out blasting operations, appropriate training (briefings, etc.) for personnel working in the mine, etc.
