Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Underground gas analysts measure and analyze gas components and concentrations in mine tunnels to maintain a safe working environment.
Description
Underground gas analysts, in underground environments such as mines and tunnels, use precision instruments to measure and analyze harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide, as well as oxygen concentrations, and ensure the safety of the working environment based on those results. They perform instrument calibration and maintenance, data recording, report preparation, and as needed, propose ventilation plans and monitor gas concentrations during emergencies. Since the work is in confined underground spaces, knowledge of safety and health laws and mining labor safety and health regulations is required.
Future Outlook
With the strengthening of safety standards in the mining industry, the demand for underground gas analysis remains stable, and the role of high-precision analysis is expected to expand with advancements in environmental measurement technology.
