Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fires in Pictou Mines: Report of Commission to Enquire Into the Cause, History, and Effects of Fires in Pictou Coal Mines As to working the bottom part of the Main seam in the Foord pit old workings, assuming the recovery of the pit, it may be remarked that the evidence shows that the height of coal worked in the upper part of the seam from the Foord pit varied greatly, from 7 to 18 feet. The workings in the bottom coal carried on after the pit was opened again did in several cases penetrate into the old workings in the upper part of the seam. It therefore appears that while 11 considerable amount of coal could probably be recovered by working in the bottom coal without reference to the upper working in the same seam, that owing to the dangerous state of the working in the upper part of the seam, it would undoubtedly at any moment be subjected to the risk of abandonment through falls of the roof, coal, etc., communicating with the upper workings. It may be remarked here that from calculations of a general nature, it would appear that there is in the bottom coal in' the Burnt, By and Foord pit workings, and in the pillars in the upper part of the same seam (all in the Main seam) over tons of coal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reply to the Report of the Commission on Fires in Pictou Mines: Dated December 31st, 1895 Last year your Department raised the question of working or non working the seam, but in so general a way that we could not understand what course you were advised could be pursued. We would now respectfully request that we be promptly informed of the attitude you take, for it manifestly would not be fair to us. Assuming on your continued silence and inaction that the matter was dropped, to allow us to make expenditure and then subsequently' to revive a contea tion that has not as yet been definitely placed before us.

Download or read book Working Disasters written by Eric Tucker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, workers are injured, made ill, or killed on the job. Most often, workers experience these harms individually and in isolation. Particular occurrences rarely attract much public attention beyond, perhaps, a small paragraph in the local newspaper. Instead, these events are normalized. This membrane of normalcy, however, is ruptured from time to time, especially after a disaster. This edited collection draws together original case studies written by leading researchers in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, and the United States that examine the politics of working disasters. The essays address two fundamental questions: what gets recognized as a work disaster? And how does the state respond to one? In some instances, it seems self-evident that a disaster has occurred. For example, when a mine explodes killing tens or hundreds of workers simultaneously, the media and politicians recognize that this is not just a personal tragedy for the families of the victims, and that more troubling questions need to be asked about how this could happen. In other circumstances, however, the process that determines what gets recognized as a disaster is much more complicated. "Working Disasters" addresses the politics of recognition in case studies of the long-haul trucking industry, repetitive strain injuries, and lung disease in miners. Once it has recognized that a working disaster has occurred, the state typically goes beyond its routine responses to the daily toll of work-related deaths and injuries. Inquiries may be initiated to review the adequacy of regulatory systems and laws may be amended. Sometimes disasters produce meaningful change, but often they do not. In this text, the politics of response is considered in studies of a factory fire, the loss of an offshore oilrig, lung disease among miners, a mine explosion, and the prosecution of health and safety offences. This book will be of use to occupational health and safety activists and professionals; academics and upper-year students in: industrial relations, labour studies, labour history, law, political science, and sociology.
