dc.description.abstract | Mining is without doubt a hazardous activity. But to what degree of hazard it is, depends on different parameters including geographical area. To understand the level of occupational life risk in open-pit mine activities, the following two studies could give an overview about the safety situation in this field. Kecejevic et al. (2007) verified the time period around 1995-2005 and they reported that 120 miners were killed every year in the United States. Similar but most shocking statistics are given by Jianjun in 2007 and he wrote that according to official statistics, the fatal accidents from 1949 to 2007 have been approximately 250 000 in China. It should be noted that, although many efforts have been made to improve the occupational safety worldwide through using right technology and well trained operators, but still a lot of work is needed to be done to reach to an acceptable level of occupational risk and safety in this field. In this paper the major parameters influencing the occupational safety in a quarry in Sweden were studied. | en_US |
