Abstract

Compared to the major industries, mining industry has a high risk accident potential. Over ten
thousand miners are killed every year, and this is just the official figure. It is assumed that the number of
the injured might exceed one hundred thousand miners, and many of them remain disable [1,2]. The history
of mining is linked to the development of society itself, while the regulations on mine safety can be traced
back to the Roman times. Significant mining accidents and disasters were reported since the beginning of
the year 1800 [2,3]. Several pathways to mine accidents have been identified within the 200-year
experience, where the agents have been: hit, inrush, outbursts, explosion, falling, sliding, lifting, poisoning,
etc., in different work places, such as stope-work, transport, drift-discharge, transport, maintenance, etc.
Despite having identified the causality (agent) long time ago, the number of mining accidents are still
disturbing. This paper aims to assess the risk from particular agents at a workplace, trending this way to
determine the risk rank through empirical formulas, through parameter “P” as an accident occurrence
parameter and relevant statistics on mining accidents.
