The main objective of this review was to build upon a previous study on the root causes of truck-related fatalities in surface coal mining operations in West Virginia, and to develop intervention strategies to eliminate these fatalities. This review considers a two-pronged approach to accident prevention: one that is fundamental and traditional (safety regulations, training and education, and engineering of the work environment); and one that is innovative and creative (e.g., applying technological advances to better control and eliminate the root causes of accidents). Suggestions for improving current training and education system are proposed, and recommendations are provided on improving the safety of mine working conditions, specifically safety conditions on haul roads, dump sites, and loading areas. We also discuss various currently available technologies that can help prevent haul truck-related fatal accidents. The results of this review should be used by mine personnel to help create safer working conditions and decrease truck-related fatalities in surface coal mining.
本次综述的主要目的是在之前关于西弗吉尼亚州露天煤矿开采作业中与卡车相关的死亡事故根本原因的研究基础上，制定干预策略以消除这些死亡事故。本综述考虑了事故预防的双管齐下方法：一种是基本的传统方法（安全法规、培训与教育以及工作环境工程）；另一种是创新和创造性方法（例如，应用技术进步来更好地控制和消除事故的根本原因）。提出了改进当前培训和教育系统的建议，并就改善矿山工作条件的安全性，特别是运输道路、倾卸场和装载区域的安全条件提供了建议。我们还讨论了各种目前可用的技术，这些技术有助于预防与运输卡车相关的致命事故。矿山工作人员应利用本次综述的结果，以帮助创造更安全的工作条件，并减少露天煤矿开采中与卡车相关的死亡事故。
