Risk Assessment of Loader and Dozer Incidents by Wilfried Barros is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study developed a risk assessment process to characterize risks associated with loader- and dozer-related fatal incidents in US mining between 1995-2006. The researchers identified hazards from MSHA investigation reports of 77 fatal incidents. They used a preliminary hazard assessment to identify and quantify risks. A risk matrix was used to rank risks based on probability and severity. For loaders, the top hazards were "failure to follow adequate maintenance" and "failure of mechanical components", wh
