The purpose of this booklet is to make a contribution towards improving safety standards in underground transportation. Its scope is limited to horizontal track-bound transportation on gold and platinum mines and its emphasis is on learning and behavioural causes and remedies for accidents rather than on technical and engineering related causes. The booklet is a summary of the research project GAP857. It contains all the significant findings of the original research but excludes much of the background and supporting statistics. Its emphasis is on presenting the recommendations in an accessible format. The booklet first identifies the key trends and hazards associated with track-bound underground transportation. It then explores what learning outcomes are needed to address these hazards and finally makes recommendations regarding the most appropriate and effective communication techniques to reduce transportation accidents
