Accident data pertaining to slipping, falling and materials handling accidents for the past five years were obtained from the South African Mines Reportable Accident Statistical System (SAMRASS). The information obtained was analysed to identify the causal factors and circumstances under which these accidents occurred. A limited survey was conducted at a gold mine, a colliery and a quarry to establish current manual materials handling practices. This included walk-through observational surveys of the work facilities to observe obvious ergonomics-related risk factors.enSIMRACSIM 020904South African mining industriesMines slipping accidentsInvestigation into slipping and falling accidents and materials handling in the South African mining industry.Conference PresentationSchutte, P., & Shaba, M.
