The occupational health efforts within Y Group are examined after analysis on current occupational health and occupational hazard control among coal mines in and outside China, covering a systematic investigation of dust hazard prevention in B Mine and an analytical research of heat hazard in Z Mine. The paper includes an innovative set of studies on the distributions of coal mine workers subject to different occupational hazards and the types of work among pneumoconiosis victims, the distribution of main heat sources underground and measures against heat hazards, as well as the number of dust-exposed workers per ten thousand tons of raw coal. Our findings will provide useful clues for successful occupational health and occupational hazard control in the coal sector.
