To make matters worse, illegal coal mining has increased over the years putting the coal miners' lives at greater risks.

Safety measures are no-existing; broken rails, only one exit and entry point and no protective clothing or equipment to name a few.

  • Lan Ba Coal Mine, an illegal coal mine on the Laoying Mountains in South West China.   Illegal coal mines normally are run by a business man in complicity with a local sheriff.  They are generally small and situated in the inner parts of mountains.  If accidents occur they are simply shut and covered as if they never existed.  In illegal coal mines accidents occur more frequently because even the basic health and safety measures are ignored.  Just the bare fact that these mines are run on just one point of entrance and exit makes them extremely dangerous: if an accident occurs close to the shaft there is no passage to escape from.  However, the economic boom of the recent years in China has seen a huge migration for work particularly from rural areas because of the enormous decline in farming.  Many desperate people leave their homes searching for work and accepting any terms of employment
