Abstract: In earlier years when mining activities were modest in scale, safety problems too were simple. With the progress in exploitation of minerals, safety of persons employed became matter of concern. Occupational injuries in mines are attributed to many factors. Based on various literature review it may be come at common establishment that there are various factors responsible for work injuries in mines. Statistical tools have been developed in the light of epidemiological principals to see whether there is any role of some personal and impersonal factors in the occurrence of coal miner’s injuries. In this review, an attempt has been made to identify the various factors related to work injuries in mines and to estimate the effects on work injuries to mine workers. An accident path model was developed to estimate the pattern and strength of relationship amongst the personal and impersonal variables in accident/injury occurrence.
