Despite significant reductions in fatal injuries in the mining industry, the number of accidents remains unacceptable. Ongoing concern persists regarding mine equipment. This study analyzes the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) data from 241 final reports of fatal injuries in U.S. surface mines between 2008 and 2021. Predominantly, powered-haulage was the leading source of fatalities; novice miners were particularly vulnerable, and the most significant root cause group was 'Failure to follow safe work procedures and conditions while performing the task'. Results should heighten hazard awareness for industry professionals, helping them identify and prioritise safety issues in surface mining systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
