An underground miner. Mines- especially coal mines- may have an ignitable gas known as "fire damp". This is methane gas, and can be highly explosive. Early miner's lamps had an open flame, and could ignite that. The Davies Safety Lamp would not. Today we use electric lamps that are safe to use in areas with methane, but you can still see the early safety lamps in mining museums.

What are miners pit lamp check token?

Miners' pit lamp check tokens are specialized tokens used in mining operations to ensure the safety and accountability of miners. Each miner is issued a token that corresponds to a specific lamp, which is typically used for illumination in underground mines. When miners enter or exit the mine, they must check in and out by depositing or retrieving their tokens, allowing management to track who is underground and ensure that all personnel are accounted for. This system enhances safety by helping to prevent accidents and ensuring that no one is left behind in the mine.
