7. Determinants of Risk Indices in Hard Rock Mine Using Loglinear Model

Occupational hazards are undeniably a foremost determinant of inadequate initiative and contribute to collective inequalities in injuries, health, disabilities, and hasty transience. This study aimed to evaluate the roles of occupational hazards and their contributions to the occurrences of injuries among the Indian hard rock mine workers. Injury rates are calculated based on the normalized injury rate (NIR), and a loglinear model was investigated for the identification of causative factors involved mine accident through the cross-classification table. The application of loglinear model expedited the quantitative analyses of mine safety problems in a multivariate state of affairs on a hard rock mine in the eastern part of India. This model illustrates that the variations observed in cell frequencies are not indiscriminate and occupation is a major contributing factor followed by workplace location. Estimation of risk is done by the parameter calculated in this model, and important information about the reduction of the accidents in the underground metal mine is presented.
