eBook: Protect your mining operations from lightning

In the world of mining, lightning is a significant hazard to both workers and structures. Lightning strikes carry millions of volts of electricity that can cause chaos in mining operations, resulting in injuries, deaths and substantial financial losses.

Since mines are often in large, open areas and remote locations far from the nearest weather station, general weather forecasts usually don’t provide accurate information about what to expect and when.

Recognizing the seriousness of this threat is crucial for mining companies looking for effective ways to detect lightning and reduce the risks to ensure the safety of workers and property. This Guide explores the complexities of lightning as well as Vaisala lightning detection technologies ideal for mining applications, and provides insights into best practices to protect against the destructive force of lightning strikes.
