Welcome to The Coalminer’s Daughter, the official channel of Underground Support Solutions (USS) — where we dig deep into coal mining safety, innovation, and teamwork beneath the surface of South Africa’s mines.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most vital safety controls in underground coal mining: stone dusting.
Discover what stone dust is, why it’s used, how the DMRE regulates it, and how proper application and barrier maintenance prevent explosion propagation and help identify strata behaviour underground.

Topics Covered:

The science behind inertisation and flame propagation control
DMRE (GNR 28 of 2020) barrier spacing and sampling standards
Stone dusting’s link to strata condition observation
Historical roots of explosion prevention research
Application tips for mine safety teams

We also share practical tools to make compliance and planning easier for you and your team:
