In underground metal mines, cross-sections of galleries can be made larger compared to coal mines. Therefore, underground mining trucks Load-Haul-Dump (LHD) machines can easily be used for haulage of ore in underground metal mines. Ore produced is taken by LHD machines and moved to transfer points where trucks are waiting. Ore is loaded to trucks at transfer points and moved out of the mine. In this study, risks in transfer operations of ore from LHD machines to trucks are considered using Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. Risks which turn out to have risk priority number greater than 100 are handled urgently and risks priorities are decreased with the necessary precautions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
