Analysis of Accidents Data of Contractual Workers in Open Cast Metal Mines

Abstract

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.
