Abstract
This research delves into the intricate dynamics of risk factors contributing to
injuries in open cast metal mines where a multitude of personal and impersonal elements
converge to shape the safety landscape. 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.
