Characteristic Analysis of Unsafe Behavior by Coal Miners: Multi-Dimensional Description of the Pan-Scene Data

Abstract

As a high-risk occupation, coal mining has many accidents, primarily due to the unsafe behavior of coal miners. Based on the research of analysis of unsafe behavior and pan-scenario data of miners, a theoretical framework for the analysis of unsafe behavior characteristics was proposed in this paper. The collected data were divided into realistic scenes and abstract scenes according to different manifestations; the pan-scene data were described from the eight dimensions of time, behavioral trace, location, behavioral property, behavioral individual, degree, unsafe action, and specialty using a quantitative method for the structure conversion; and the rules were discovered through cluster analysis and association analysis. A total of 225 coal mine gas explosion accidents were used for analysis, and the pan-scene data description and structure conversion of unsafe behavior that caused these accidents were realized. In a certain cluster, the distribution rules of dimensions and the interaction between different dimensions of unsafe behavior were explored after analysis. The results show that the proposed eight dimensions can fully explain the basic characteristics and attributes of the unsafe behavior of coal miners. The structure conversion can reduce the workload of managers and effectively improve the safety data processing capabilities, and the result of data analysis can provide data support and a management basis for safety management. A new method and thought for the data analysis of miners’ unsafe behavior is provided.

Risk Assessment of Miners’ Unsafe Behaviors: A Case Study of Gas Explosion Accidents in Coal Mine, China

“…[5]. Complex working conditions, the harsh working environment, and many dangerous factors have formed a severe production situation in coal mines [6,7]. This situation has not only caused adverse social impacts, but also widespread concern in the international community, directly affecting the image of the Chinese government and foreign trade of enterprises.…”

Evaluating Targeted Intervention on Coal Miners’ Unsafe Behavior

“…The hidden danger of job sites and violation images can be used as realistic data, recording the occurrence time of the accident, the behavior process of the individual, and the situation of all things, which can clearly and truly reflect the unsafe behavior and the safety risk points of miners [21]. The accident report records the process, the cause, the corrective action, and the result of the accident.…”

A Comprehensive Model of the Relationship between Miners’ Work Commitment, Cultural Emotion and Unemployment Risk Perception

“…However, although China has made significant progress in coal mining technology and safety equipment configuration [1], coal mine accidents still occur frequently [2,3], and coal mine safety production is facing difficulties. Previous studies found that human factors have become the leading cause of coal mine accidents [4][5][6]. Accidents caused by unsafe human behavior accounted for 96.5% of the total number of accidents [7], and findings regarding workplace behavior and the health and safety of coal workers are not promising [8].…”
