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.
