Analysis of coal mine electrical accidents. Open file report 25 Jun 80-27 Aug 81
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6514136
Electrical accidents occurring in coal mines from 1975 through 1979 were categorized and analyzed. The data were searched for common electrical hazards, common activities by those injured, and common negligent or careless behavior. The accident data were combined with mine production statistics to form a normalized electrical accident rate. It was found that some mines have consistently more lost workdays per work-hour than other mines. Bureau of Mines electrical safety research contracts were reviewed to determine whether the research effort was directed toward those areas that are related to the most accidents; in some cases it was not.
