为了提高安全性，应用有效的风险管理已成为采矿业的要求。采矿风险管理的有效性本质上取决于风险评估过程，因为风险评估过程的输出有助于矿山管理层决定采取控制措施来减轻矿山中发现的风险。风险评估在矿山的应用不仅对于确保安全的工作环境变得重要，而且现在已成为一项法律要求。风险评估过程的能力取决于危害识别阶段，因为未识别的危害可能会导致未知且无法管理的风险。因此，识别所有潜在危险以管理矿山风险至关重要。本研究的目的是确定印度地下煤矿存在的安全隐患，并建立已识别危险的初步数据库。对从印度矿山安全总局和一家公共部门煤矿公司收集的事故数据进行了研究，以确定可能导致事故的安全隐患。该数据库可以帮助矿山管理人员在分析和评估已识别危险的安全风险后改进决策。
To improve safety the application of effective risk management has become a requirement in the mining industry. The effectiveness of mining risk management essentially depends on the risk assessment process, as the output of the risk assessment process helps the mine management to decide upon the control measures to be employed to mitigate the risks identified in the mine. The application of risk assessment in mines has become important not only for ensuring a safe working environment but, also, it is now a legal requirement. The capability of a risk assessment process depends on the hazard identification phase, as unidentified hazards may lead to unknown and unmanageable risks. Therefore, it is essential to identify all the potential hazards to manage the risks in mines. The object of this study is to identify the safety hazards present in Indian underground coal mines and to build a preliminary database of the identified hazards. Accident data collected from the Directorate General of Mines Safety in India and a public sector coal mining company was studied to identify safety hazards that may probably lead to accidents. The database could help the mine management to improve decision making after analysing and evaluating the safety risks of identified hazards.
