ALL mining (especially underground mining) CAN be dangerous. While the Homestake mine is no longer an active mine, consider that workers could be 8000 ft below ground, and hazards include large moving machinery, high voltage electricity, rock falls, use of explosives, rock dust in the air, and noise. Homestake was a very professionally operated mine with a good safety program, but no program can remove ALL dangers.
