Fresh heading? Gotta scale that to get rid of loose rocks and beware moving machinery. Established area? Already scaled, metal screening installed, and possibly shotcrete added which makes it pretty safe. There's offices down there, with AC and whatnot. Just no plumbing in the traditional sense. It's pretty neat, but I definitely still prefer surface.
