A number of techniques are used to predict and prevent the occurrence of the outbursts and to protect mine workers from the consequence of outburst incidents. This paper outlines the gas content based outburst control technology, one of the successful outburst control technologies, applied in Australian coal mines. Some aspects of the current technology, which are perceived as either inadequate, inappropriate or impractical, are also highlighted in this paper together with the research strategies to address the concerns.

Outbursts are hazardous through the mechanical effects of particle ejection and by asphyxiation and possible explosion from the gas produced. Outbursts occur as a result of mutual interaction of a number of factors such as rock pressure, gas present in coal, and physical and mechanical properties of coal. Gas content is an important factor in outburst proneness. Unless gas content reaches a critical level, outbursts of gas and coal will not manifest themselves at all. Though gas content, as a basic coal seam parameter, has been used to develop many gas-related indices for outburst prediction in Australia, this has not been used in practice elsewhere. This may be due to different coal seam conditions outside Australia and the lack of the development of a rapid method to measure gas content. Outbursts were a common occurrence in gassy Australian mines, up un
