Human factors contributing to groundfall accidents in underground coal mines: workers' views. Information Circular/1987
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6392347
This report presents findings from a Bureau of Mines study on barriers that may prevent miners from correcting and avoiding groundfall hazards. Such barriers stem from four basic types of problems: inability to recognize groundfall hazards; inability to correct groundfall hazards; lack of motivation to search for groundfall hazards; lack of motivation to correct groundfall hazards. The report also includes a summary of miners' responses concerning their recent experiences with groundfall accidents, along with industry-wide statistics on accidents and injuries caused by groundfalls in underground coal mines.
