Introduction. In the industrial regions of Ukraine, the structure of nature formed over a long period without objective laws of development and recovery of natural resource systems and ecosystems. All natural ecosystems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere) have undergone forceful anthropogenic pressure. Chemical, radioactive and other pollution of the natural environment causes various, often incurable diseases, irreversible changes in the genetic structure of cells, which leads to an increase in the birth rate of defective generations. A special place in this context takes ecological safety in mining complexes. Mining complexes interrelated processes of human impact on the environment to provide raw materials and energy resources of various fields of economic activity. In a broad sense, the resource means as sources of matter and space - the environment of their location and life.Purpose. The purpose of the work is to highlight the importance of environmental safety management in mining complexes and areas for improvement.Methods. We used the methods of theoretical research to improve environmental safety in the mining complexes.Results. Based on theoretical research and improving environmental safety in mining complexes, the following measures are needed: control over the environment, reproduction and protection of its resources, improvement of natural living conditions, improvement of mining complexes as an environmental safety management system.Following environmental principles, it is necessary to manage the environment safety of mining complexes with the involvement of existing tools and methods of environmental analysis, as environment safety of this activity is of great importance for all areas of the environment. It is a question of studying of the zones of technogenic influence which are forming around dumps of mine breeds, and maintenance of physical, chemical stability of mining wastes. Management of ecological safety in mining areas will allow excluding the occurrence of the ecological-extreme situation after completion of the operation of coal deposits and during the future use of the disturbing territories. Stimulating self-education and ecological education, practical activity is at the same time a kind of generator in the process of developing beliefs in the main direction of the knowledge of conscious and responsible attitude to nature, ecological consciousness.Conclusion. Reasonable measures must regulate the impact of mining complexes on the environment. That means the monitoring of the state of the environment in mining areas; assessment of the threat of environmental hazards; prevention of complication of the ecological situation of the mining area (reclamation, phytomeliorative measures of heaps); development (implementation) of appropriate programs aimed at reducing environmental hazards.
