“…While the causes for haul truck crashes can rarely be attributed to a single factor, they often involve a significant human performance component (Patterson & Shappell, 2010;Randolph, 1998). Fatigue in particular has been identified as a major factor contributing to crashes in haul traffic (Orchansky, Worrall, Malean, & Nebot, 2006;Santos, et al, 2010;Schutte & Maldonado, 2003).…”

This paper presents findings from a field study of the operation of haul trucks in two open pit gold mines. Qualitative results relevant to the haul truck operator's work environment are presented, and the human factors challenges of the work are identified. Three specific issues that stood out from the study are discussed in detail. First, fatigue is identified as a major contributing factor to crashes and overall performance in open pit traffic, heightened by the specific work characteristics of a haul truck operator. Second, negative transfer is discussed as it interferes with the adaptation from one truck type to another: a consequence of inconsistent controls across different truck brands. Third, the under utilization of and the general posture of suspicion towards the dispatch system are reported, with a list of potential reasons related to automation characteristics.

“…Rough roads and loading impacts can subject the driver to dangerous shocks and vibrations 5. Visibility is sharply curtailed by the bulk of the vehicle Meanwhile, Orchansky [3] stated that fatigue is the most critical contributing factor towards vehicle accidents in the mining industry and is the direct cause of hundreds of serious injuries and fatalities every year. Fatigue affects the alertness and performance of drivers by decreasing their reaction time and impairing their judgment capabilities, thereby leading to a higher risk of motor and cognitive errors.…”

“…Hanowski, as cited in Orchansky [3], provided a preliminary list of potential fatiguerelated factors cited by long-haul-and short-haul drivers. The most frequently mentioned factors are listed as follows in order of most to least mentioned: In the present study, we examined two factors: long work hours and irregular work shifts.…”

“…Many factors contribute to haul truck-related fatal and non-fatal injuries, including lack of visibility, road conditions, operator behaviour, operational conditions and weather conditions [4]. From the operator's perspective, the factors that affect driving tasks can be grouped into three major categories: impaired visibility, fatigue and human error [3].…”

Road hauling accidents involving hauling trucks are the highest contributor to coal mine accidents in Indonesia. More than 20 percent of accidents related to coal mining occur on hauling roads. PT X is an open-pit coal mining company that transports coal for processing using hauling trucks. At this company, coal hauling truck accidents also result in the highest number of fatal incidents. During the 2010-2015 period, 11 fatal accidents were reported, and hauling trucks were involved in 45 percent of the accidents. These fatal accidents resulted in the operators' deaths and also caused financial losses because of the subsequent needs to repair equipment and to disrupt production processes. The purpose of the present study was to identify the causes of Meanwhile, the use of mobile phones while driving was related to the monotony of work, the lack of an open radio channel and personal reasons. To reduce fatal accidents involving coal hauling trucks, we suggest to the management of PT X that the work shifts of operators be appropriately managed. A rotating shifts schedule should be implemented, and rest periods should be encouraged during shifts to avoid operator fatigue and decreased operator alertness during day shifts. Finally, we suggest the implementation of further regulations to prohibit the use of mobile phones while driving.
