Jacinto, C. e Guedes Soares C. (2008), “The added value of the new ESAW/Eurostat variables in accident analysis in the Mining and Quarrying Industry” , Journal of Safety Research, Vol. 39, pp. 631-644

This paper presents a study on the causes and circumstances of occupational accidents in the Portuguese Mining and Quarrying (M&Q) activity sector. To this effect, it uses national accident data (2001-2003), giving particular attention to the newly implemented harmonised ESAW/Eurostat variables. The study begins with a broad description of the M&Q sector and identifies its “typical accident”. A series of accident pyramids are used to discriminate between causal patterns of fatal and non-fatal accidents. The causation mechanisms of the “typical accidents” (fatal and non-fatal) are established by examining the statistical dependency between pairs of modalities of two key variables: the Contact and the Deviation. The results obtained by this method revealed certain details of the cause-effect mechanism that were unknown before, which also facilitate prioritising preventive strategies.
