Resumen
BONSU, J. et al. A systems approach to mining safety: an application of the Swiss Cheese Model. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2016, vol.116, n.8, pp.776-784. ISSN 2411-9717. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/2016/v116n8a10.
Achieving zero harm in the mining industry is still a big challenge worldwide. A potential major step towards remedying the situation is a good understanding of the processes that lead to accidents in the industry. The Swiss Cheese Model has had a significant impact on the understanding of the causes of accidents in high-risk industries. In this paper, an accident analysis framework based on the Swiss Cheese Model is developed and tested against a previous mining disaster. The developed framework has the potential to enhance the understanding of the factors that contribute to accidents in the mining sector.
