Item Analysis of Accidents Data of Contractual Workers in Open Cast Metal Mines(World Researchers Associations, 2025) Manohar, M.; Bijay, K.M.This research delves into the intricate dynamics of risk factors contributing to injuries in open cast metal mines where a multitude of personal and impersonal elements converge to shape the safety landscape. Drawing insights from a comprehensive literature review, risk factors considered in the study are skill level of workers, the role of mine officials, attitudes toward safety and the involvement of contractors. The one-year contractual workers’ accident data which includes offsite and onsite injuries was considered for the analysis. The analysis of the provided data on on-site and off-site injuries reveals distinct patterns and trends throughout the month. The comparison of one year data set indicates that overall off-site injuries are more prevalent. Ultimately, this analysis contributes valuable insights for enhancing overall safety measures and mitigating the incidence of injuries. © 2025, World Researchers Associations. All rights reserved.
