Objective Over many years the Annual Reports of HM Chief Inspector of Mines have drawn attention to the role and importance of human behaviour human error - in accidents. Innovations in the mining technologies introduced have been the means of eliminating some accidents but have introduced new ones. The aims of the project are - to identify from existing records the human factors issues relevant to accident causation; - to examine the feasibility of improving the present accident reporting and analysis procedures in order to incorporate, as a routine, a wider consideration of human factors; - to provide a basis on which priority areas for accident prevention programmes concentrating on human factors could be developed.
