矿山安全的概念在可持续采矿的文献中得到强调，但没有得到广泛讨论。本研究分析了地下和露天矿山安全的各个方面，并强调了其在可持续采矿背景下的重要性。更具体地说，本研究试图找到地雷危害和人口特征之间的关系，检查和比较矿工之间的感知差异，并确定地雷危害对工作场所安全和安全气候的影响。以描述性分析、卡方检定、独立样本t检定及线性回归模式进行分析。结果证实，地雷危害与年龄和经验有很大关系。矿工认为较低水平的管理安全措施，其次是主管安全，同事安全，工作安全。分析显示，地下矿工的安全得分低于地面矿工。矿工对安全气氛的感知差异有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。结果表明，较高的地雷危险发生率预示着较差的工作场所安全和低安全气候。回归模型显示，矿山危险源对工作场所安全（p < 0.05）和安全气氛（p < 0.05）有显著影响。总之，这里提出的独特的矿山安全模型有助于监测和设计全面的安全干预措施，并有助于更好地了解某些因素如何在多个层面上相互作用，影响行业的整体安全。本研究提出了一些建议，为发展可持续的矿山安全系统提供方向。
The concept of mine safety is highlighted in the literature of sustainable mining but not extensively discussed. This study analyzes various aspects of underground and surface mine safety and emphasizes its importance in the context of sustainable mining. More specifically, this research attempts to find the relationship between mine hazards and demographic characteristics, examine and compare the perceptual difference among miners, and determine the impact of mine hazards on workplace safety and safety climate. Descriptive analysis, chi-square test, independent samples t test, and linear regression modeling were conducted to achieve study objectives. Results confirmed that mine hazards were significantly associated with age and experience. Miners perceived lower levels of management safety practices, followed by supervisor safety, coworker safety, and job safety. The analysis showed that underground miners reported lower safety scores than surface miners. There was a statistically significant difference between miners' perception of safety climate (p < 0.05). The results showed that the higher prevalence of mine hazards predicts poor workplace safety and a low safety climate. The regression models revealed that mine hazards have a significant effect on workplace safety (p < 0.05) and safety climate (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the distinctive model of mine safety presented here contributes to the monitoring and design of comprehensive safety interventions and helps to better understand how certain factors interact on multiple levels to influence the overall safety of the industry. In this study, some suggestions are put forward to provide directions to develop a sustainable mine safety system.
