Abstract

Accident statistics is an important basis in designing coal mine safety signs. In this paper, we study the process and feasibility for accident statistics as the design basis of the coal mine enterprise safety signs. This paper comes into a conclusion of unsafe actions which cause the accident can be divided into two categories: illegal action and error action. Illegal action could be subdivided into habitual illegal action and accident illegal action, while error action could be subdivided action into skills, decisionmaking and physiological perceptual action. In this paper, we specifically analyze five coal mine accident cases as examples, in order to conclude unsafe actions and unsafe states in every case. Specifically, unsafe acts are: bolt pretightening does not reach the designated position, sitting on the belt, no remote operating point column, maintenance without power cuts and operating under pressure. In addition, these unsafe acts lead to relative unsafe states, which are insufficient bolt pressure, point column instability, machine charging electricity and hydraulic pipe under pressure? Finally, these unsafe states become causations of accidents. Based on statistical analysis, we found out illegal actions of coal mine accident cases and specifically designed five safety signs, which are ‘bolt must be preloaded in place', ‘be careful of the column', ‘ban to sit on belts', ‘forbidden pressing operation' and ‘maintenance must be power outages'.
