Analyses of statistical data indicate that haulage accidents are one of the largest sources of injuries and fatalities in underground coal mines and that the rate of accidents in transportation has been increasing during the past few years. These previous analyses were performed by correlating accident or fatality data at a rather low level of activity in an attempt to understand factors contributing to hazards in the specific situations observed. The aim of the current study was to derive preventive measures that might obviate the hazardous conditions and unsafe acts observed, and following this, to provide recommendations for additional research and development to reduce accident potential in underground transportation. In-mine surveys were made in 35 underground coal mines in 10 different coal seams that were believed to be representative of U.S. mines.
