accident rates were then compared with rates for all types of accidents (second data set of Figure 2). On average, severe machinerelated accidents classified as struckby or caughtin accounted for 41% of all severe accidents at mining operations. Researchers then determined the most common
Certain types of mining accidents occur infrequently but cause a high number of fatalities per accident. Table 1 shows types of accidents ranked by the percent that resulted in a fatality. Mine electrical accidents are fatal in disproportion to their frequency. They rank 3rd in the overall ratio of total accidents to total fatalities.

The latter includes only the accidents resulting into consequences on people, not equipment or machinery. Different categories of causes, types and consequences of mine accidents are briefly defined, and a 3digit code is assigned to each category. These can be combined to ultimately allocate a unique 15digit code to each type of mine accident.
