“…In Australia, the fatality rate has reduced from 12.4 in 2004 to 4.4 in 2015 [23]. Similar reductions have been made in other countries including India [24], South Africa [25], Spain [26], and Poland [27]. Despite these records of improvements, the frequency and severity of mining accident are still undesirable.…”

Background Despite improvements in safety performance, the number and severity of mining-related injuries remain high and unacceptable, indicating that further reduction can be achieved. This study examines occupational accident statistics of the Ghanaian mining industry and identifies priority areas, warranting intervention measures and further investigations. Methods A total of 202 fatal and nonfatal injury reports over a 10-year period were obtained from five mines and the Inspectorate Division of the Minerals Commission of Ghana, and they were analyzed. Results Results of the analyses show that the involvement of mining equipment, the task being performed, the injury type, and the mechanism of injury remain as priorities. For instance, mining equipment was associated with 85% of all injuries and 90% of all fatalities, with mobile equipment, component/part, and hand tools being the leading equipment types. In addition, mechanics/repairmen, truck operators, and laborers were the most affected ones, and the most dangerous activities included maintenance, operating mobile equipment, and clean up/clearing. Conclusion Results of this analysis will enable authorities of mines to develop targeted interventions to improve their safety performance. To improve the safety of the mines, further research and prevention efforts are recommended.

“…In addition to avoiding the risk of occupational accidents each operator is obliged to examine the component units of heavy equipment operated, if found damage to the component units of heavy equipment can be repaired before it is operated (Dash et al, 2015). Another important factor in the application of SOP is the current working conditions of employees, the operator should be ergonomic.…”

Mining industry is one of the most high risk jobs, thus requiring the application of standard operating procedure in every phase of the work. Based on the preliminary study at PT. Darma Henwa, Site Asam-Asam Coal Project there were 126 cases of occupational accidents in 2012 and 22 cases of occupational accidents in 2013. Several studies have shown, do not apply standard operating procedure and low work motivation are cause of occupational accidents. This study aims to clarify the effect of application of standard operating procedure and work motivation to occupational accidents on employees hauling part. This research is observational analytic method with cross sectional design. The study population was all employees hauling part. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique. Thus obtained 64 samples of the research. The research instrument use questionnaires. The results of research shows significant effect of application of standard operating procedure and work motivation to occupational accident. Company are expected to conduct strict monitoring of application of standard operating procedures by employees. Application of safety sharing or safety talk is expected to continue and improve safety behavior of employees.

“…Due to the narrow working space in the industrial field, many special function vehicles have hidden hazards in the process of reversing, posing a huge threat to safety production [1]. In order to solve these kinds of problems, the ultrasonic detection technology is thus widely used for monitoring and early warning of safety distances because of its simple structure and fast response [2,3,4,5,6], and could be gradually seen in the potentially explosive atmospheres of gases and vapors.…”

The transformer used in the conventional ultrasonic ranging system could provide a huge instantaneous driving voltage for the generation of ultrasonic wave, which leads to the safety problem in the explosive mixture. This paper proposes a transformerless ultrasonic ranging system powered by the intrinsically safe power source and analog switches. The analysis of intrinsic characteristics of ultrasonic driving circuit is realized in normal and fault conditions. The echo-processing circuit combined with LIN bus technology is further adopted in order to improve the system stability. After the analysis of the timing diagram of ranging instruction, the evaluation experiments of ranging accuracy and ranging stability are completed. The results show that the system can realize reliable bidirectional communication between the LIN master node circuit and the ultrasonic transceiver unit, which realizes the transformerless driving. The system can realize the distance measurement within the range of 250–2700 mm, and the measurement error is less than 30 mm. The measurement fluctuation is less than 10 mm, which provides a new solution for the ultrasonic ranging system in the potentially explosive atmosphere.
