摘要: Introduction: Despite significant reductions, the number of injuries and fatalities in mining remains high. A persistent area concern continues to be equipment-related incidents. Method: Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) Current Population Survey (CPS) data were used examine over period 1995–2004. Incidents reviewed determine which types equipment most often involved identify characterize trends. Results: Non-powered hand tools was category with non-fatal while off-road ore haulage common source fatalities. Summary: Younger employees had an elevated risk injury workers N55 years for fatality. large majority incidents involve b5 experience. Impact on Industry: Results should increase hazard awareness enable mine management select prioritize problem areas safety system weaknesses both underground surface mining. © 2007 National Council Elsevier Ltd.
