KH I'm not a professional but mines are very dusty. Sometimes mud and water can be up very high and you have to work in it and walk through it. Coal dust makes it hard to breath and makes up the "dusty" part of it. That's what you always see miners covered it. It's hard to get off sometimes and likes to stay in cracks in men's hands and everything.

Roofbolting is done to support the roof of the mines so it will not collaspe. The big bolts are drilled into the roof by a machine and it is to keep the roof of the mines stable so the men can work under it.

Lots of coal miners go into the mines with little or no experience. They have some knowledge of the jobs because their fathers, uncles, cousins, and brothers have done the same work. There are training courses on it. They have to take mining safety tests and things like that as well. They can get hands on training through some programs, they have been advertising a couple on television. Alot of the time though the men have been exposed to the job since they were very young and have basic understanding so when they get the job other men from the mines just train them as they go along.

Mines have something similar to roads so the machinery can run in and stuff. The mantrip has a track underground so the men can get it on and ride to the break and stuff that their machinery is at and where the work underground.

Sorry that I can't be more help, I've just heard my dad and family talk alot about it and my dad has been working underground for a LOOONG time now so I've been around it all of my life.
