Dangers can include fire/explosion, cave-ins of underground mines, flooding, inhaled rock and coal dust, noise from mining equipment, electric injuries (most underground equipment is electrically driven, and having a chunk of the rock ceiling fall on you. Being struck by equipment is a hazard, and when working narrow seam coal, developing "Miner's knee" for working on your knees- not enough room to stand up. I inspect coal mines, and these are some of the areas I look for.
