True. Though, the bit about dangerous working conditions could be true, considering that mining, even in our world, is dangerous, and proper precautionary measures must be taken. We have to deal with cave-ins and gas leaks that could ignite from a spark produced by metal striking something.... Well, when proper measures are taken, such as proper ventilation, maintenance, mining practice, and protective equipment, mining is actually very safe.

When those measures are not present.....then it gets dangerous. Especially with Oil and Coal mines. Under the proper conditions, they can explode, and if ignited they can burn for decades. Obviously, this would leave most of the resources useless or unobtainable anytime soon.

It would be mostly the same here, maybe with more measures taken. If Jacques truly did not take the proper measures, then he would simply not have turned the SDC into what it is now, because accidents would happen often and leave the merchandise in varying states of "bad", and could even leave mines unuseable.

As long as the proper measures are taken, Dust Mining shouldn't be that dangerous. And I'm sure Jacques is taking them, because otherwise he's mindlessly losing potential profit like an idiot, which is not the case.
