Determination of the hazard index in ensuring the safety of personnel in underground mines requires a comprehensive approach. Different methods can be applied depending on the specifics and conditions of work. This article discusses event tree and Bayesian network methods as tools for systematic analysis and assessment of personnel safety risks. The event tree method allows the sequence of events that lead to certain outcomes to be ordered and visualised. Analysing this event tree can help identify critical points and determine likely ways to prevent accidents. The Bayesian grid method is a graphical model of the probabilistic relationships between different variables. When analysing personnel safety, the Bayesian grid method can take into account the probability of events, the factors affecting safety and their interrelationships.
