Were coal mines safe during Industrial Revolution?
No, they were not. As mines got deeper the risks of roof collapses, poisonous gases, accidents and lung cancer became a very high risk. The pressure and weight of the earth and coal became heavier so they would sometimes cause the wooden beams supporting the tunnels collapse. The ventilation problem caused poisonous gases to enter the tunnels were men were working, it caused choke damp and suffocating. Also, some of the gases were highly explosive and even the smallest spark would cause them to explode. Accidents happened when miners banged there heads on the wooden beams and fell and got knocked down by falling rocks or by the trams. Lung disease was cause by inhaling the coal dust.
