Abstract

The article presents the results of analytical studies on the issue of regulatory regulation in the field of safety at coal mining enterprises, as well as information on the dynamics of the total number of regulated entities of each type during the period of mandatory requirements from 2021 to 2024. The article provides a list of existing legislative and legalcts for coal mining enterprises that operate underground and the sources of risks. The ain groups of causes of violations of industrial safety requirements were identified.

Keywords: Mandatory requirements, causes of risk of accidents and injuries, safety, efficiency, sources of risk, list of violations.
