Stope rock fall

The most dangerous type of rock fall in the stope would have to be off the hanging wall, normally the only notice you get is a puff of dust or a few small rocks falling. If you see dust or small rocks fall out of the stope or hear a bang it is important to remove the bogger from the stope as quickly as possible.

When do you go back in?
