Document Summary
Identify factors that contributed both directly and indirectly to the mine disaster. Many factors were contributed to the mine disaster, directly and indirectly. One indirect factor that contributed to the mine disaster was the contract between both morragh mine and. This was a indirect mine disaster because morragh mine wasn"t able to carry on the contract of supplying 600,000 tons of coal annually to northern hydro. Also, due the financial troubles, morragh mine felt the pressure forced on to them (morragh mine, 2014). Another factor is that the fact that morragh mine couldn"t improve their production rate because employee were already working 24hour/7 days and don"t have time for maintenance and servicing activities. While other mining company only force 5 days of mining and spend the other 2 days on maintenance and servicing activities (morragh mine, 2014). Finally, many of the employed workers at the morragh mine were previous hard-rock workers and didn"t have coal- mining experience.
