Objective
The extension of mechanised methods to the extraction of difficult seams, the concentration of working on fewer, high-capacity, production units and the introduction of automation technology continually influence working methods and conditions in all mining activities. Over the last decade these changes have been very successful in reducing the accident frequency rate and the occurrence of dangerous events. Latterly the rate of improvement has almost stagnated. In fact the serious accident rate has deteriorated.
The SHCMOEI initiated a collaborative study in order to evaluate what better training methods aimed at accident prevention could be introduced. The study group (from France, Germany and the UK) reported in Doc 5673/1/80 E. The report noted that little systematic evaluation of supervisory training was carried out. Among the recommendations for action was the need for a study into how attitude and behaviour changes could be brought about and how work teams could be given opportunities for the influencing of safety standards and workplace behaviour.
The ZOLDER mine was chosen as a suitable site for the practical study. In joint consultation with experts from other countries a training programme aimed at improving accident prevention was set up and agreement reached on the method of evaluation.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
