Abstract
This paper discusses the dynamics of safety risks during the first period of coalmine closure and suggests an approach for general and detailed assessment of risks using data from statistical analyses and expert estimation of frequency rise and origination of new risks, specific for the period of closure. Conclusions and considerations are supported by data about real mining sites in the period of planning their closure.
