A coal miner is a worker who extracts coal from underground mines or surface mines. Coal is a fossil fuel that is used primarily for electricity generation and steel production. Miners use various tools and machinery to dig and transport coal, often working in challenging and hazardous conditions. Coal mining has a long history and has played a significant role in industrial development. Miners often face risks such as cave-ins, gas explosions, and exposure to harmful dust. Safety regulations and protective equipment, such as helmets and respirators, are essential to minimize these dangers in the mining industry.
