4 REPORT ON AN E[pL()SION OF GAS IN THE INMAN SHAFT, BUTTONlIOOD OOLLIERY OLEN ALDEN COAL OOMPANY On March 29, M!J(BFllS OF COllMISSION John D. EdWards Vine Inspector, 3th Dist Andrew I'lson Kine Inspector, 7th District Dav.l.d 'If. Cosslett, Inspector, 9th District' April 2 Honorable Richard Ilaize Secretary of s Harrisburg, PennsylftIlia Dear Mr. llaize: on March 29,, at 0:30 A.M., an explosion of gas occurred at the Inman Shaft, Buttonwood Colliery, Glen Alden Coal Company, Hanover Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, resulting in the death of five workmen and injuries to four others. The explosion occurred in 33 Tunnel East, Abbott seam, which averages 6 fest 4 inches in heil!jt. Firet lllining is in progress and the chambers are driven 24 feet wide, on,5 foot centers. The average pitch of the seam is 4, degrees and ooal from the face area non to the car on the gangway by gravity. The workings at the location of the accident underlie the surface at a depth of 657 feet. Seventeen workmen were in this section at the time of the accident. The active working places oonsisted of the gangway, airway and eight chambere, designated as chambere number 7 to 4, inclusive. The gangway, airway and chambers number 8 and 0 were not working on the day of the explosion. J The section is ventilated by two fans, one electric and one steam driven, located on the surface. The total quantity of air entering the section on Karch 30 was 4,400 c. f. m. This current travels directly to the face of the gangway, thence through the airway and chambers to the return. Crosscuts between the intake and return are closed with ooncrete walls. Small openings in the walls to permit the passing of workmen and coal are closed with can'\l8s Board stoppings are to close the crosscuts between chambers. The pressure r~ cording charts indicated the fans were in continuous operation on the day of the accident. Permissible electric cap lamps are by all the l'oanen and all miners are furnished with permissible name safety lamps. COIIIpressed air-driven jackh!ulllllers are for blasting. An electric locomotive, equipped with trolley and reel cable is for transportation. Operation of this looomotive is

5 confined to the gangway, ~ in intake air. Property dallage was sll!jt, and consisted of the destruction of several board stoppings and dislodgment of brattiees and props in several of the chambers. Rescue and recovery operations were started at once by workmen and officials in the section. Victims and surviv 0'8 were removed to the surface by 2 noon. Oar investigation consisted of an edliination of the afiected section and the equipment therein, edliination of legal records, testing oi the ilame saiety lslllps in this area, and after the restoration of the ventilation, a thorough search for the cause of the acculllulation and the source of the ignition. A test was made in chamber, where, we are of the opinion, the gas was ignited, to determine the cause of its accumulation. ihe ventilation was short circuited to permit gas to acculllulate in the face. It was determined that it required tllo houl'll and ; minutes to completely fill the chamber area irom the iace to the upper rib of the crosscut, a distance of 8 lineal feet. It is possible that BOlle gas had accmnulated in the face of chamber 0, as the line brauice in this mamber had not been extended beyond the lower rib of the face crosscut. The accumulation, when ignited, expanded to the extent that t.he flame reached 9 chamber, a distance of 0 feet. It was determined from the testimony that the miners and laborers, upon arrival at the foot of their places at the start of the shift, drew two care each from the chutes before they proceeded to the faces of their chambers. Approximately one hour elapsed while this liork lrlls being done. On the liiorning of the accident, the tire boss, Anthony Solden, was assigned by the section foreman, to measure yardage, props, etc., for the semi-monthly payment for these items. To complete this work, he took with him a mason. It appears that they started at the gangway face and worked out to chamber, where they '8'8 measuring the length of the crosscut to chamber 0, when the gas was ignited. The fd.re boss's notebook was found in this Cl'Clllscut, and according to entries made in this book, he had credited the miner in chamber with the erection of two check brattices for this pay period. Of the eight working chambers located in this area, included in the numbers to 4, chamber 8 had been stopped temporarily and chamber 0 was worked on the afternoon shift only. On the day previous to the accident, the miner employed in chamber had tapped the crosscut through to chamber 0. IIen the miner in chambpr 0 arrived at his place on the afternoon Shift, the day prior to the accident, he worked in the crosscut, enlarging the opening. He and his laborer then closed the next crosscut below with brattice boards. Because of the closing of this crosscut, the logical thing for the miner in chamber to do on the following day would be to erect a check brattice partly across this chamber at the lower rib of the new crosscut, thence from this check brattice extend the line brattice toward the face, which was 8 feet beyond the upper rib of the face crosscut. We are of the opinion that to do this some of the original brattice was removed, pel'llltting the air to travel diagonally across chamber to the crosscut, bypassing the face area in mamber entirely. we believe that gas was present in the face of chamber when the fire bose arrived, and that it continued to acculllulate while the aeasu'wlents were being completed. for which the miner had been given credit was only partly completed, and that the fire boss and the mason, leaving the miner to complete this work and remove the gas, were preparing to leave chamber by lrlly of the crosscut to chamber 0 when the explosion OCCUlTed. '!he miner in chamber made the statement several times on his way out of the mine after the explosion that, the safety lamp had exploded. He also repeated this statement in the hospital before his death. Fo0lring the accident his safety lamp lrlls fo'md on the noor of the chamber near the lower rib of the face crosscut. At the upper rib of the crosscut is a prop, lrth two nails three inches from the rooi, where the lamp was evidently hung. Numerous teete were made with the lamp in a testing cabinet, under the most severe conditione, ranging from the 0lrest to the hi test explosive limits, using propane gas, and under no conditions were we able to produce an i!!dition lrthin the cabinet. Exhaustive tests were also made lrth this lamp at the Bureau of )lines laboratory in Pittsburgh, and we were unable to cause an explosion. The name area reeulting from the ignition extend~d dowilrllrd in cnamber and across the faces of chambers 0 and 9. The miner and laborer from chamber, the fire boss and the mason in the crosscut between chambers and 0, and the miner and the laborer in chamber.9 were badly burned, and lrth the exception of the laborer in chamber 9, have died as a result. The force of the explosion, which we believe not to have bem severe, ca slight injuries to the miner and the laborer in chamber and to the bratticeman, llho was on the gangway. After the ventilation wae re-established, a methane reading of.3% was obtained in the return air from this section. A feeder in the blind crosscut on the left side of chamber, near the face, was liberating methane freely, as was the face of the chamber. The cause of the i(!jlition could not be positively determined. ihere was no indication or evidence that smoking had taken place in this section. No blasting of coal or rock in the area had been done for a period of three hours prior to the ignition. Ifnition from electrical sources seems relllote. No electrical equipnent, tracks or power lines were in the chambers. Trolley lrre and electrical locomotives are conf'~ed to the gangway on intake air. The track was well laid and bonded. On our preliminary examination of this area on the day of the accident, and the CQIIpete examination on the following day, the fire boss' 5 dates for the 29th of Karch were observed from the gangway out to and including chamber. No dates were found in chambers 0, 9, 8, or. On subsequent examinations on April 3 and 4, four day!' later, at the suggestion of the Secretary of s, dates were found for the 29th of Karch in chambe'8 and 8. HOlrever, the initials in these instances were not such as to prove conclusively, to be those of the fire boss. On the report book for this date entry had been made and signed by the fire boss, noting examinations of this area prior to the entry of the lrorkmen. Some of the workmen employed in the working chambers inside chamber stated that the official had a flame safety lamp lrth him and tested for gas in their places when he visited then. HOlrever, the flame safety lamp furnished the fire boss _s found, after the explosion, hanging on a prop underneath his jacket, at a point near the outside end of #33 tunnel, a distance of 900 feet from chamber. It ie our opinion that the work of erecting the two brattices

40 CIRCULAR LETTER March 4, 952 To: From: All Anthracite Inspectors, Officials and rs Joseph J. Walsh, Deputy Secretary of s In this letter we shall aim to analyze the 92 fatalitie9 which occurred in the Anthracite mines of Pennsylvania duri.ng the year. Possibly nothing is more timely or more important for the men of the mines to know than that their safety activities are very much on trial today be~ore the country at large, and that they - officials and miners _ have an obligation to fit themselves to meet the issues with which they are confronted. Too many people associated with the mining industry proclaim to high Heaven that. they are doing everything practically possible to secure the safety of their workers. Others will say that the human mind is no match for the industrial hazards found in coal mines. Or they may say that the victim of an accident was either careless or lacked the skill and experience to cope with the evil that ca his injury. So let us see what the record reveals. The average number of years of experience had by the 92 persons killed in the Anthracite mines during the year is 22, and their average age is 43 years. 'Ibis does not indicate that the lack of experience had too much to do with the casualties. But let us go on. It has been found that 69% of the fatalities were ca by hazards that did not exist one hour before the accident occurred. In the case of the remaining 3% of these fatalities the existence of the hazards extended from two to more than seven hours. Here, it seems, many hazards existed sufficiently long to have been detected and removed. Just think of this Is it not proof that in many cases supervision was not what it should have been? You may come up with~ the question: What does he want, a boss for every worker? No such thing, or anything remotely approaching it, is intended. We do maintain, however, that no one can analyze the statements set forth in this letter and risk saying that reason and common sense do not support those who advocate more and better supervision at the working face. We could goon and on, citing fact after fact in support of more and better supervision, on the part of the official and the miner, as the cure for the accident evil in coal mines, but a few more wel suffice. 'Ibirty-three, or 80%, of the roof fall fatalities occurred within 0 feet of the working fane, in coal seams having thicknesses which permitted the use of the three important senses, si/lpt, touch and hearini', to detect the condition of the roof. It has further been determi.ned that only 3, or 8%, of the roof fall fatalities resulted from hazards that human intelligence could not have foreseen. We have on other occasions called your attention to the danger zone in a coal mine - the working face. The combined area of this zone in all of the mines in the Anthracite region consists of about &:J acres. Strange as it may seem, nearly 50% of the fatalities occur in this small area an area about the size of a little borou/lp nestling somewhere in the coal field. Suppose you give this statement some thought. How many additional officials do you 'think would be required throughout the whole Anthracite region to supervise frequently, during each shift, the workers engaged in this small area of 60 acres? My discussion of the next feature could well be considered in conjunction with that which has just been said about supervision. The record clearly indicates that 60% of the fatalities occurred during the second, third and fourth hours of the working shift. It is during these hours that the miner should exercise extreme caution and the official should step up his supervision to include frequent visits to the working face. Now let us look into the question of responsibility for these 92 fatalities. Only 5 of them can be charged to industrial hazards - hazards which could not be foreseen. 'Ibe remaining 77 fatalities, which are accounted for in the following table, are chargeable in some degree to the victim, minar, official and/or others.
