In recent years, a variety of technologies have improved mining operations. One of them is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the emerging technology that has been changing the mining process, boosting mining safety and productivity. The main purpose of this paper is to review the applications of UAVs in the mining industry based on the results of 113 research papers over the past twelve years, from 2010 to May 2022. The potential applications of UAVs in the mining industry are broad. Based on the paper identiﬁed, eight categories are used to classify UAV applications in the mining sector. The reviewed literature revealed that UAVs are an excellent tool for multitasking at any stage of a mining project and in any type of mine. The ﬁndings of this study may serve as some guidelines for developing the necessary requirements for the use of UAV technology in mine sites.

Purpose: the main purpose of the article is to underline importance of updating knowledge by mine rescuers related to deteriorating geological conditions of mines, that can lead to accidents and events that result in serious disasters. Design/methodology/approach: theses presented in the article have been verified using: literature review, critical literature analysis, document research and comparative analysis. Findings: based on content of this article, mining rescue will be considered as the most important aspect of the entire occupational safety system. The main element in mine rescue is the lifeguard-specialist, who has unique and constantly improving qualifications and professional competences. Hence, the role and quality of mining rescue should be assessed not only in the scope of the tasks that it has to perform, but also perhaps even more importantly, in relation to new challenges that require the constant adaptation of mining rescue to fit dynamically changing organizational and technical conditions, both underground and on the surface of the mine. Originality/value: the article enriches knowledge and develops discussion in the area of mining rescue. Thanks to the knowledge presented in the article, it can be concluded that role and the rank of mining rescue lies not only in the dimension of tasks that it has to perform, but also importantly in the dimension of new challenges that determine the need to constantly adapt mining rescue to dynamically changing organizational and technical conditions, both underground and on the surface of mine sites.

Purpose: the main purpose of the article is to compare Polish and Chinese mine rescue services. It tries to bring closer the organization of mine rescue in Poland and in China and constitutes a development of the research work of the author's article entitled "Motivation to work in rescue services of young mining staff" (Hetmańczyk, 2017, pp. 19-24), indicating the main factors motivating young mining staff to work in the rescue services. Design/methodology/approach: theses presented in the article have been verified using: literature review, critical literature analysis, document research and comparative analysis. Findings: based on content of this article, it will be highlighted the need to seek new solutions to increase the efficiency of mine rescue. In the opinion of experts and practitioners in the area of security, the next "jump" may lead to the intensifying of preventive measures aimed at human beings, mainly focused on making changes in the consciousness of mining crews. In practice, this would mean including within the scope of preventive measures, those which have a major impact on the skills, motivation, and attitude to issues related to safe operation. Finally, the mine rescue system, through prevention and training, will strengthen safe mining practices. Originality/value: the article enriches knowledge and develops discussion in the area of mine rescue. Thanks to the knowledge presented in the article, it can be concluded that role and the rank of mining rescue lies not only in the dimension of tasks that it has to perform, but also importantly in the dimension of new challenges that determine the need to constantly adapt mining rescue to dynamically changing organizational and technical conditions, both underground and on the surface of mine sites.
