Coal miners are workers who extract coal from underground or surface mines. They use various tools and machinery to dig and transport the coal, which is a vital energy source used for electricity generation and heating. Mining can be dangerous due to risks like cave-ins, gas explosions, and exposure to harmful dust. The process of coal mining involves several steps, including exploration, extraction, and transportation. Miners often work in teams and must follow strict safety regulations to protect themselves. The coal they extract is then processed and shipped to power plants or other facilities for use in generating energy or manufacturing products.
