Abstract

The investigation of serious injury and fatal accidents in the mining industry is mandated by 30 CFR 50 under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The information derived from investigations can be put to important use in formulating training programs. Analysis of accident reports can result in information that points out contributing factors to accidents which not only can be modified or eliminated via administrative and/or design controls, but which can be addressed through training. This paper describes the use of accident reports to determine the relative necessity for development of training programs for mobile mining equipment operators.
