Coal Miners Day 2023: History and significance

Coal Miners Day honours all coal miners who work hard to provide us with one of the earth's most valuable resources. For many people, coal mining is more than a job; it is a way of life. Coal miners frequently work long hours in hazardous conditions, including underground mining, which can result in rockfalls, floods, and gas explosions. Coal Miners Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of mine safety and the need to provide miners with safe working conditions.
