Review of status of implementation of recommendations of 10 th Conference on Safety in Mines. Necessary facilities for monitoring the environmental parameters in respect of Methane and Carbon Monoxide should be provided at mines. Facilities of continuous type monitoring should be installed within two years in all degree III gassy COAL and in such other mines having active underground fire. Indigenous manufacturers should be encouraged to manufacture necessary equipments. Time bound programme is to be made, which should be decided in a tripartite committee at company level. In underground specified mines where long or arduous travel is involved, arrangement for transport of men should be made with a target of 20 % every year. In respect of small-mechanised mines, which are operating in NON-COAL sector, it may not be feasible for a small organization to create a special department on Occupational Health Services. For such small mines, it is suggested that an Association of small mines operators creates common facilities and infrastructure for occupational health services. Creation of such facilities are specially needed for asbestos, manganese and mica mines. Development of a portable instrument for detecting hidden slips in roof of COAL mines should be taken up on priority by R&D organizations. The instrument should be developed by S&T project which should be guided by a committee consisting of an officer from DGMS and others from COAL Industry and Research Organisations. Before the valid gate pass is issued for entry of trucks and other vehicles not belonging to management into the mine, the mine engineer should check the road-worthiness of such vehicles. In order to check entry of un-authorized vehicles in mine premises, each mine should establish property manned check gate(s) at the entrance(s) where record of entry and exist of each such vehicle
