Development of a mathematical forecasing model for occupational injuries in mining

The mining industry is characterized by the influence of special hazardous and harmful factors that, in turn, is associated with the risk of occupational injuries and occupational diseases. In order to reduce the risks, modern methods of accounting, analysis and forecasting of injury rates are required. Statistical methods of data processing are consistent with these requirements. The basis for the study was evidence from an appraisal audit of five domestic enterprises of the mining complex. In the course of processing injury statistics for the period from 1975 to 2017 with the regression method, a mathematical model was obtained. The model makes it possible to predict the number of accidents at work for the next year. To some extent it confirmed the hypothesis which was put forward at the beginning of the study. As practice has shown, the mining enterprises of the Russian Federation keep statistics of injuries in the form of aggregated data, which makes it impossible to predict the probable causes of accidents. The study proposed a form for the correct collection of statistics of injuries at mining enterprises. The form helps to obtain an improved model for predicting not only the number of accidents for the next year, but also the probable causes of the accidents, which, in turn, can serve as a basis for determining labor safety arrangements for the next year.
