Abstract:	Despite all the attempts made to create a safe work environment for employees working in coals mines during the past nine years an average of 25 miners died every year, and 229 were injured. In 45% of the deaths and in 24% of the reported injuries the cause was roof and sidewall accidents. The primary objective of this project was to identify the causes of unsafe acts or neglect resulting in roof and sidewall accidents in coal mines.
