Case
1. Introduction
XIANGNING, Shanxi - The number of people trapped underground after a coal mine flooding in north China's Shanxi Province was revised -- for a second time -- to 153 from 123, rescuers said late Sunday night.
Investigations showed that 261 workers were in the pit of Wangjialing Coal Mine under construction when underground water gushed in at about 1:40 pm. Of them, 108 were lifted safely to the ground while 153 others trapped in the shaft, according to the rescue headquarters.
"Most of the trapped are migrant workers from Shanxi, Hebei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces," a rescuer said.
The exact number of people trapped is still being checked.
Soon after the accident happened, the Shanxi Provincial Work Safety Administration and the Shanxi Provincial Emergency Affairs Office said 152 people were trapped underground, but officials later changed the figure to 123.
Rescuers are struggling to save the trapped people, and local authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao ordered local authorities to spare no effort to save the trapped while guarding against secondary accidents.
Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang rushed to the site late Sunday to oversee the search and rescue operation.
The mine, sitting astride Xiangning County of Linfen City and Hejin City of Yuncheng City, covers about 180 square kilometers.
The mining zone boasts more than 2.3 billion tonnes of coal reserves, including nearly 1.04 billion tonnes of proved reserves, according to the company's official website.
It is now under infrastructure construction and is expected to produce 6 million tonnes of coal annually once put into operation.
The mine, affiliated to the state-owned Huajin Coking Coal Co. Ltd., is a major project approved by the provincial government.

2. Reason, result analysis & Hazard audit
Reasons: (1) Miners dug abandoned coal mines so deep that connected groundwater casing permeability. 2) When the mine started leaking water, high level didn’t pay attention to the report from miners.
Results： (1) The permeability has led to 153 people trapped under the coal mine (2) If the rescue isn’t effective, it may increase the risk of people death and injury (3) The permeability can cause a series of other dangers such as collapse (4) Beside physiological harms above, it also has a serious psychological effect on these miners who were trapped (5) The accident will have a bad influence on national image and increases difficulty of OHS management
Hazard audit: (1) Did the company have any related OHS policies? (2) Did the workers do their tasks according to the OHS policies and rules? (3) Is the equipment used in coal mine suitable and safe? (4) Did the workers use the equipment in a right way? (5) Had the workers been trained about right work methods and OHS control methods?
Control method: (1) On one hand, the government should launch rescue at once; on the other hand, the miners who were trapped under mine should try their best to save themselves (2) The company must deal with the accident seriously and take effective measures to avoid recurrence
3. Measures of save after trapped under mine (1) After permeability, the government must organize effective rescue, send rescue workers and get the permeability place in time (2)
