Remote Control Fatal Accident Analysis Report of Victim's Physical Location with Respect to the Mining Machine

摘要

An analysis was made of the twenty six (26) remote control-related fatal accidents that have occurred since December 1988. The analysis does not include roof fall fatalities. The analysis identified the work function being performed, whether or not the victim was the operator of the machine, and the physical location of the victim with respect to the machine. This report consists of a short summary of the 26 accidents, conclusions, and Figure 1, which summarizes the analysis and shows the physical location of the victims with respect to the mining machine.
