Six-hierarchy model of accident analysis and its application in coal mine accidents

Accident analysis models play a significant role in accident investigation and analysis.Most traditional models,usually based on a chain of events,have serious limitations when used for complex systems,especially for coal mine accident.HFACS is a widely accepted accident cause model with complex structure and content.Based on HFACS and accident investigation need in China,a new systemic accident analysis method“Six-hierarchy model”is proposed.And the index database of accident causal factors at each hierarchy of coal mine accidents is established.This model provides clear guidance for the prevention of accidents from six levels,which helps to the targeted rectification after accidents and the improvement of safety management level.The source,ap-plication scope,advantages and disadvantages of HFACS and six-hierarchy model are compared.The“2.14”gas explosion accident in Sunjiawan coal mine is analyzed by using HFACS and six-hierarchy model and the safety management suggestions are put forward.The study shows that the Six-hierarchy model provides a clear guide for the prevention of accidents from six levels.And it benefits the targeted rectification after accidents and the continuous improvement of safety management.

煤矿安全投入和安全成本的界定

安全投入不足是煤矿安全事故频发的主要原因之一。目前,安全投入与安全成本的概念存在着严重的模糊性。为此,笔者重新给出了安全成本的定义:在基准的安全标准下,发生的与安全有关的费用总和,包括安全投入和事故损失两部分。为了进一步明确安全成本与生产成本间的界限,还提出了从采矿方法、地质采矿技术条件、生产工艺环节等3个方面对安全成本与生产成本间的界限进行界定,以及对事故损失按照可列的直接经济损失、隐含的直接经济损失、可列的间接经济损失和隐含的间接经济损失等4个层次分别进行计量的建议。最后提出了发展煤炭科技、严格煤矿设计审查制度、制定煤矿安全成本统计标准、变革煤矿税费体系等应对措施。
