Deep Dirty and Dangerous

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As the world waits to see if the thirty three Chilean miners trapped 700 metres underground are pulled out safely, Business Daily looks at the safety of mines and mining. After years of decline fatality figures in China are on the rise again; Jonny Dymond talks to Geoffrey Crotham of the China Labour Bulletin about whether new safety initiatives in China wil make a difference; and Anthony Hodges of the International Council on Mining and Metals tells the programme whether or not he'd go down a Chinese Mine. Plus: Booze! Cigarettes! Bad behaviour! Where has all the fun gone in the modern office? Lucy Kellaway looks back to the good old days.
