The Deputy

The deputy was the man responsible for the safety of the miners. Although this was his job, in reality he was preoccupied with concideration for the level of production achieved by the men.

His work also includes that of supporting the roof with props or wood, removing props from old workings, changing the air currents when necessary, and clearing away any sudden eruption of gas or fall of stone that might impede the work. He may also delegate these duties to others.
