Analysis of near Miss Reporting will in China Coal Mines: An Empirical Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of data from near misses in safety management has been identified as an important practice in the prevention of accidents. In this paper, the factors of impacting near misses reporting in China coal mine are investigated based on literature review and questionnaire survey. The influence effect sequence is: no number requirement, manager’s attitude to reporting , lack of feedback and follow-up, fear of social sanction, fear of punished, difficult to identify near misses, complicated reporting procedures, psychological factors. Work (setting formal goal for number of report, motivate miners to report, give feedback on report, development a no blame culture, training miners, etc.) has to be done continuously in order to get benefits from the near miss reporting system in coal mine.
