Think about this. To get coal you have to go deep in the earth to dig out the coal. Mines have gasses and they can cave in if the support structure isn't correct. Sometimes the gasses build up and act like a bomb explosions happen trapping and killing miners. It is a dirty tough job that also has health problems because of the coal dust in the lungs.
No, they should not. In most of the world, it is against the law. Mining- especially coal mining, can be an extremely dangerous job.
coal mining can be a dangerous job, thousands of miners have been killed or injured in accidents in the mines, many more suffer from " black lung".

Coal mining
A coal miner is a person who extracts coal from the earth through the process of mining. This job involves working underground in coal mines to extract the coal for various industrial purposes. It is a physically demanding and often dangerous occupation.
Coal is a non renewable source of power because it takes many, many years to replenish stocks and the job of extracting it from deep underground (mining) is very dangerous.
Miners are the workers who dig coal out of a mine. They use equipment such as drills and shovels to extract coal from underground deposits. Mining is a physically demanding and sometimes dangerous job that requires specific training and safety measures.
Oh yes, coal mining is very dangerous to your health. If you do not breathe well filtered air, it will cause black lung disease.
Coal mining was dangerous due to the risks of cave-ins, explosions, and exposure to toxic gases such as methane and carbon monoxide. Miners also faced the hazards of lung diseases from coal dust inhalation and physical injuries from heavy machinery and tools.
The biggest danger in retreat coal mining is the miners are removing coal pillars as the miners "retreat". The removal of coal pillars, which support the mine's roof, can cause mine collapse.
While the safety and health of coal miners has improved greatly, it is still dangerous work, and people may be hurt or killed. While there is some degree of hazard to ANY job, mining still ranks among the most dangerous.
The advantage is that we get more coal. The disadvantage is that is it a very dangerous job
