Mining Publication: Causes of Fall Fatalities at Surface Mines. Surface mines can be hazardous places to work, with approximately 5,800 nonfatal injuries a year (MSHA, 2006-2015). Slips and falls are a major contributor to these non-fatal injuries, second only to material handling injuries. Slips and falls account for approximately 26 …
This paper therefore examines statistics on gas accidents in coal mines in China from 2009 to 2019; it studies the macroscopic laws of gas accidents and attempts to quantitatively identify the various safety factors related to coal mine gas. Using the accident causation model, the causes of gas accidents are systematically analyzed.
In this paper, a data mining method Logistics-DT-TFP is proposed for analysing the causes of RDGT accidents. Firstly, analyse the transportation process, extract the cause of the accident, and ...
Fatalities chargeable to the Mining Industry. Federal enforcement agency responsible for the health and safety of the nation's miners.
In recent years, ship collision accidents have been widely concerned due to their high frequency of occurrence and serious losses. However, the analysis of the accident cause, especially the human factors, often lacks the corresponding data support. Therefore, this paper introduces the grounded theory (GT) to conduct the text mining of the accident …
Through HFACS-CM model analysis and calculation verification, the key causes of secondary explosion accidents in such mines are found and lessons are learned, which provides an effective reference for the effective prevention of deflagration accidents in the field of mine safety.
Cause of the Numerous Open Pit Mine Equipment Accidents: A Case of X Mining Company.,Encyclopædia Britannica, (accessed, 23rd December 2018)
The primary objective of this systematic review was to find evidence of work-related accidents involving machinery and their causes and, thus, to provide relevant data available to improve the mining project (design).
PT X is an open-pit coal mining company that transports coal for processing using hauling trucks. At this company, coal hauling truck accidents also result in the highest number of fatal incidents. During the 2010–2015 period, 11 fatal accidents were reported, and hauling trucks were involved in 45 percent of the accidents.
These fatal accidents resulted in the operators' deaths and also caused financial losses because of the subsequent needs to repair equipment and to disrupt production processes. The purpose of the present study was to identify the causes offatal accidents involving coal hauling trucks at PT X during the 2010–2015 period.
Rockfall accidents are an important determinant of safety performance in deep level mining. Previous research which is reviewed suggests that a lack of skill in perceiving warnings of imminent danger…
The use of explosives in mining is a necessary evil in the industry. To ensure that explosives are used safely, extreme precautions must be taken. For surface mine accidents, flying debris is the most common cause. Failing to keep a safe distance from the blast area or a too powerful charge are often the reasons for this type of death.
As another major cause of accidents in the mining industry, Eng Munodawafa added: "Gassing accounts for about 10 percent of the fatalities in the industry. This usually happens when there is poor or no ventilation at all.
The number of deaths caused by remote mining vehicles has risen to become the leading cause of mining site deaths worldwide in 2021.
The mining industry is a vital economic sector, comprising the utilisation of coal, metal, and non-metal minerals [ 1 ]. However, historically, mining has also been one of the most hazardous working environments in many countries around the world [ 1, 2, 3 ]. For instance, coal mining operations have the highest machine-related accident rates …
The outcome of this study demonstrates that systemic factors, rather than human errors and violations, are the chief causes of accidents in the mining sector.
The mining industry generates wastes containing high concentrations of metals and metalloids which are highly toxic to the environment. Here are various causes and effects of mining on the human health and the environment.
The association rule mining technique identifies the hidden patterns or knowledge between the root causes of fatal construction accidents, and one hundred meaningful association rules were extracted from the two hundred and fifty-three rules generated. It was discovered that many fatal construction accidents were caused by …
Analysing accidents reveals trends, patterns, and causes to focus on when developing accident countermeasures. This study aimed to analyse the causal and contributory factors of accidents within Ghanaian gold mines. 701 accident investigation reports were collected from 7 large-scale mine sites. The reports were classified and …
The SLR examined research trends in mining accidents issues between 2015 and 2019 and successfully developed four main themes. These consist of the main causes of accidents (46%), and the prevention (20%), challenges (17%) and impacts of post-mining accidents (17%). The study produced thirty-five subthemes by …
The trends and principal causes of occupational fatalities and disasters (defined as six or more fatalities in one incident) in the South African mining industry are analysed. A miner who spends twenty years working underground faces a one in thirty chance of dying in an occupational accident.
While technological improvements and stricter safety regulations have reduced coal mining related deaths, accidents are still too common. China, which produces more than one-third of annual global coal output, accounts for more than two-thirds of mining deaths around the world each year. Mining-Technology profiles major …
The association rule mining technique identifies the hidden patterns or knowledge between the root causes of fatal construction accidents, and one hundred meaningful association rules were extracted from the two hundred and fifty-three rules generated.
At present, the early warning of coal mine gas explosion accidents is mainly based on monitoring of the gas concentration. In this study, an accident prevention gateway was developed through association rule mining. To expose the causal factors of gas explosion accidents and explore their internal coupled causality relationship, …
