This paper presents the analysis of large mining machinery related accidents in Indian opencast coal mines. The trends of coal production, share of mining methods in production, machinery deployment in open cast mines, size and population of machinery, accidents due to machinery, types and causes of accidents have been analysed from the year 1995 to 2008. The scrutiny of accidents during this period reveals that most of the responsible factors are machine reversal, haul road design, human fault, operator's fault, machine fault, visibility and dump design. Considering the types of machines, namely, dumpers, excavators, dozers and loaders together the maximum number of fatal accidents has been caused by operator's faults and human faults jointly during the period from 1995 to 2008. The novel finding of this analysis is that large machines with state-of-the-art safety system did not reduce the fatal accidents in Indian opencast coal mines.
本文对印度露天煤矿中与大型采矿机械相关的事故进行了分析。对 1995 年至 2008 年期间的煤炭产量趋势、采矿方法在产量中的占比、露天矿机械设备部署、机械规模和数量、因机械导致的事故、事故类型和原因进行了分析。对这一时期事故的审查表明，大多数责任因素是机器反转、运输道路设计、人为失误、操作员失误、机器故障、能见度和卸矿设计。考虑到自卸卡车、挖掘机、推土机和装载机等机器类型，在 1995 年至 2008 年期间，操作员失误和人为失误是导致致命事故的最主要原因。这项分析的一个新发现是，拥有最先进安全系统的大型机器并没有减少印度露天煤矿中的致命事故。
