Its contributions are twofold: to recover and emphasize improvements in small-scale mine technologies such as safety lamps and ventilation, and, second, to deny any role at this time for later macroinventions such as electrification and mechanization. We discuss the influence of these safety-improving technologies as well as government regulations on different kinds of fatal accident rates. It is proposed that an important and overlooked source of the reduction in fatalities from certain kinds of accidents was the introduction and diffusion of a variety of safety-related technologies, none of particularly large scale. 000129802 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S27$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-07996$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2012-33286 000129802 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000129802 590__ $$a1.0$$b2015 000129802 591__ $$aHISTORY$$b2 / 87 = 0.023$$c2015$$dQ1$$eT1 000129802 591__ $$aHISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES$$b1 / 34 = 0.029$$c2015$$dQ1$$eT1 000129802 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b146 / 341 = 0.428$$c2015$$dQ2$$eT2 000129802 592__ $$a1.51$$b2015 000129802 593__ $$aHistory$$c2015$$dQ1 000129802 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2015$$dQ1 000129802 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000129802 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0716-4713$$aSilvestre, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000129802 7102_ $$14008$$2480$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
