Kolkata, March 9

The Association of British Mining Equipment Companies (ABMEC) feels that the Indian mining industry will benefit by the introduction of the improved UK mining systems, which have been developed over the past 160 years.

The Director-General of ABMEC, Mr Philip Deakin, said the need for coal clearance systems by drift conveyors or shaft handling and the cleaning, separation and final preparation of the product to provide the power industry with clean burnable low ash fuel underlined the need for a highly specialist industry with knowledgeable engineers and designers.

Speaking at a seminar on "Safety through knowledge & technology", organised here by the British Deputy High Commission, Mr Deakin said that health and safety aspects had to be given top priority while mining and producing coal. He felt that profitability, good health and safety performance were not incompatible with each other. In fact, the safest workplaces were often the most productive.
