Abstarct: Safety and environmental risk management in coal mines is of great importance due to the numerous hazards and specific complexities involved. This thesis focuses on the assessment and management of these risks in the Glandrood coal mine. Initially, 33 risks were identified through the review of documents, field visits, and interviews with miners, and were then scored by mining experts. Subsequently, using the risk matrix method to determine the level of hazards and the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method for prioritizing these risks, the necessary analyses were conducted. The results from these two methods were validated against real mine data. Among these risks, 9 were selected as the most critical from six different groups, including geological, drilling and blasting, transportation, mechanical, human errors, and environmental hazards. These risks include coal dust (0.165), inhalation of fumes and gases after blasting (0.135), collision of wagons and locomotives with personnel (0.171), falling from heights (0.170), ventilation fan malfunction (0.262), musculoskeletal disorders (0.336), waste mismanagement (0.203), loss of vegetation in the tailings camp (0.202), and leakage of sewage into the soil and water networks (0.202). The final weights of these risks were obtained from the FAHP (the baxse method). For each of these critical risks, strategies were proposed to mitigate and control their negative impacts.
