Lightning warning systems as tools to prevent accidents in mining industries

Thunderstorms are unavoidable natural phenomena that pose serious threats to goods, services, environment and even cause death to people. The mining industry is really vulnerable to these meteorological events due to the fact its operations take place in open areas and the activities involve the use of heavy equipment and the handling and storage of flammable materials, which increases the risk for employees (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2016).
