“…Observing the time of accidents according to the work shift, most of the accidents occurred within the day shift, which contradicts the phenomenon that human nature is less active at night and workers on the night shift are more prone to accidents due to lack of concentration and fatigue (Ivaz et al, 2020). Ivaz et al (2020) observed that 65% of mine accident occurred during the night shift, which contradicts the observation made in the study. The mine has most of the activities within the day shift and a high percentage of the workforce working during the day shift.…”

To present information such as causes of accidents and their consequences on the Ghanaian mining industry in the safety literature, classification schemes for incident analysis within the safety literature were studied. Human Factor Analysis and Classification Scheme (HFACS) emerged suitable for incident analysis. Base on its suitability for incident analysis within the Ghanaian Mining Industry (GMI), a derivative of the HFACS, namely HFACS-GMI, was proposed. This research seeks to study the usefulness and the applicability of the HFACS-GMI. Collectively, 56 incident investigation reports were obtained from an open cast gold mine in Ghana and analysed using the HFACS-GMI. Two cases, an equipment damage incident and an injury incident, were used to demonstrate the coding processing in identifying the causal factors. The analysis shows that most mishaps are associated with adverse workplace/operator conditions (151 references), with the physical environment (72.2%) being cited as the major causal code under the tier. Management decision showed a major contribution (74.1%) to mishap under the causal codes. Most cases were attributed to mistake error (57.4%) followed by the contravention (51.1%) of set rules and procedures with the operator's act tiers. Inadequate work standards (27.8%) and failure to ensure competency (24.1%) under the operational process and leadership flaw causal codes, respectively, were identified as the most cited nanocode. Management decision is critical in a mishap and should be given much attention in developing accident prevention strategies. The study has demonstrated that HFACS-GMI is very useful and applicable for incident analysis within the mining industry and is recommended to study causal factors across the mines.

“…Examination of Table 5 indicated that young miner (30 to 39) are more likely to engage in an accident. Maiti and Bhattacherjee (1999), Ivaz et al (2020) and Sari et al (2004) made similar observations. Younger miners are less likely to be involved in a mine accident, which contradicts the observation made by Salminen (2004).…”

“…It concluded that mining companies should develop new and creative approaches to train employees and control these risks in order to keep reducing the incidence rate [ 11 ]. Problems related to inadequate risk prevention management systems have also been found in previous research [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], while changes in H&S regulations, based in the attitude towards the safety, led to a significant reduction in fatal injuries in Serbian underground coal mines [ 16 ]. The lack of a proper legislative framework and procedures have also been found as important sources of accidents in several countries [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Occupational accidents in the Spanish mining industry have been substantially reduced over the last decades. However, the incidence rate shows higher values than other leading mining countries. In this regard, the research carried out reveals the factors influencing the high incidence rates of the Spanish mining sector, based on three scenarios: underground mining (UG), quarries and open pit mining (OP) and mineral processing plants (PP). The three most common types of accident for each scenario have been determined, considering the accidents in Spain between 2009 and 2018. The analysis also includes the main deviations, and physical activities that the injured worker was carrying out at the time of the accident. Besides, a model to predict the number of accidents based on the lost working days is also presented together with the incidence and severity risk index adjusted by the number of employees and their worked hours, respectively, in each scenario. These finding can be relevant to define the most effective measures and policies to reduce the number of accidents in the mining sector.

“…Other influences such as high rainfall can expand the contamination of aquifer water in the environment. On the other hand, mining exploration carried out using an open pit mining system (all mining activities are directly related to environmental conditions such as climate and weather conditions, rain, heat, and air pressure) greatly affects mining activities (Ivaz et al, 2020), namely: the inhibition of loading and unloading activities due to muddy roads (Adnyano et al, 2020).…”

Wastewater pollution in mining areas often occurs and becomes a problem in the surrounding groundwater aquifer system. One of the efforts to determine the distribution of wastewater pollution is to calculate the discharge and volume of wastewater. In this study, an open channel in the form of a ditch or commonly referred to as a drainage system is carried out to determine the total water discharge entering the research location, design the dimensions of the sump and design the optimal cross-sectional dimensions of the ditch to overcome the discharge of water that comes out and pollutes the environment. The method used is to make an open channel in the form of a trapezoid to be used around the andesite rock mining site which then drains the mine water to the setlingpond. Efforts to drain the water that has entered the main sump (mine dewatering system) are carried out by making wells, after which the waste water is channeled into the settling pond using a pump. From the results of the study, information was obtained that the total water discharge entering the sump was 235,175 m so that the volume of the sump made was 300 m with dimensions of top area: 20m x 10m, bottom area: 10m x 10m, with a depth of 2m for total water discharge for ditches. 0.0237 m so that the volume of the trench made is 0.228 m.
