In the realm of deep coal mining, a notable difficulty faced is the occurrence of methane gas and abrupt emissions of coal gas. This study scrutinizes coal gas outbursts via laboratory investigations. The study investigates the dynamics of coal gas outbursts, focusing on the analysis and mitigation of abrupt coal gas releases via laboratory experiments. Results suggest that the prevention of coal gas outbursts in the test sample is achievable by a 20% pressure reduction using degassing techniques.Drawing from engineering observations during the mining process, this study investigates the mechanism of coal gas outbursts using a specifically constructed test device. This study reveals that a gas outburst occurs when the boundaries of coal seams become unstable due to coal failure. In cases where fractures are not connected or are closed due to coal/rock stress, the fractured zones can maintain a certain level of carrying capacity due to self-sealing gas pressure. However, once the accumulated gas energy reaches a critical point, the coal seams become unstable, leading to gas outbursts. This study presents a laboratory analysis of coal gas outbursts, methane drainage, and methods for managing these events. Findings indicate that the outburst of coal gas can be effectively managed by lowering the tank pressure through gas drainage techniques.

This article describes the process of improving risk management practices in a foundry of the ALFET Company (Algeria). The proposed methodology is based on the decision matrix risk assessment technique. This technique allows making a risk assessment for each source of risk (machine, man, environment, and management), which leads to the determination of the overall risk rate during the activity by a new concept. The latter giving a comprehensive vision of occupational health and safety, and compares it with the ALARP principle to determine the acceptability of risk. The main goal of this work is to inculcate a culture on the effects of changing behaviors and attitudes, to disseminate the culture of continuous and sustainable progress within the enterprise, and to ensure that a good atmosphere is maintained in the workplace. It aims to protect and promote the health and safety of workers and the working environment in order to promote a safe and sustainable development company. Our work shows that the working environment is tolerable in terms of health and safety at work. However, to promote a safe and sustainable development in company, an action plan based on the evaluation of the field and feedback through priority actions is recommended for continuous improvement in OSH. Toward the workplace should be continuously monitored to detect risk factors as early as possible before they have negative effects.
