Abstract

A selective review was undertaken of the problems and incidents which have arisen across three sectors; underground mining, surface mining and factory materials handling. The objective of the review was to establish an appreciation of the current position faced by industry. Legislative requirements and standards have been defined for the UK and selectively for a number of other countries. The purpose behind examining overseas industries in terms of the relative occurrence and causes of accidents in the vicinity of mobile plant was to identify the ranking of problems across a larger data set, and to evaluate organisational responses including problem-specific research.
