- Abstract
In 2011, the NRW mining authority initiated the systematic analysis and evaluation of surface fracture relevant shafts within the state of North Rhine-Westphalia's area of responsibility as part of risk management regarding potential hazards of abandoned mines. The measures that have been taken subsequently aim to, amongst others, prevent physical injuries or substantial damage to property through surface fracturing. As a result, a high level of safety from potential hazards within abandoned pit mines can be guaranteed to the residents of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2019 and 2020, the NRW mining authority considerably raised the number of shafts included in the risk management of abandoned mines, and further extended the area to be managed. Furthermore, the implementation of consultant recommendations by Clostermann et al. regarding the development of a data-based risk management application was begun.
