Abstract

The mining industry places great importance on occupational health and safety for its workers, and companies are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of their employees. This commitment is reflected in the goal of achieving zero accidents and work-related illnesses. Employee accidents in the workplace can significantly disrupt or halt mining operations. When an employee experiences an accident, other workers in the vicinity typically stop their activities to either assist or observe the injured colleague, leading to a reduction in the company’s production output. During the 2022–2023 period, six transportation-related accidents involving employee manhaul occurred, including four cases of employees falling and two cases of collisions (either by impact or being struck). These types of manhaul traffic accidents are known to have a high impact, as they can involve multiple individuals and potentially result in fatalities. This study aims to identify the root causes of manhaul employee transportation accidents using a fishbone diagram, analyzing eight categories: manpower, method, machine, material, measurement, environment, management, and maintenance. The study also provides recommendations for preventive measures based on the Systematic Cause Analysis Technique (SCAT). The fishbone diagram analysis identified the root causes of six manhaul traffic accidents, which were categorized under manpower, method, measurement, environment, and management. The recommendations derived using SCAT include leadership and administration, critical task analysis and procedures, task observation, work regulations and permits, system evaluations, personal communication (with employees), and group communication.
