Mines Accidents (classification)

Type of accidents (when and where they happen)

- Electrical.
- Entrapment.
- Exploding vessels under presure.
- Explosives & breaking agents.
- Falling, rolling or sliding rock.
- Fall roof or back.
- Fire.
- Handling material.
- Hand tools.
- Ignition or explosion (gas or dust).
- Impoundment.
- Flooding.
- Machinery.
- Non Powered haulage.
- Powered haulage.
- Slid of fall person.
- Stepping or keeling object.
- Striking or bumping.

Instead to classify all types of mines I get more focus on what kind of accidents exists and where happens? the next step is to analyze the rescue protocol during each one.


ps- I found 19 different types of accidents in the mines and I think is easier to classify then in 6 different groups; Some of then have similarities and some others can be placed in more than 2 groups at the same time because can happen for different reasons
