Abstract

Abstract:

In order to systematically grasp the current research results and explore the future development direction of behavior-based safety management in the mining industry, the literature analysis method was used to review the factors influencing miners' unsafe behaviors, theoretical models, data-driven models and behavioral intervention mechanisms. The results show that psychosocial risk, personality traits and psychological states are the main influencing factors of miners' unsafe behaviors, but there is an urgent need to conduct more comprehensive and in-depth research about their mechanisms. Besides, insufficient research on the relationship between the external environment, individual characteristics and unsafe behaviors is the bottleneck restricting the development of the theory in the mining industry, and research based on constructivism and cognitive neurology is an important focus point to promote the development of theories. Then, considering the long-term complexity of psychological problems, longitudinal studies should be used to obtain data across time by exploring a combination of qualitative and quantitative studies. Furthermore, the behavioral intervention mechanism contains two types of ways of safety supervision and safety training, where the role of multi-agent cooperation behavioral intervention requires deeper exploration.

Key words: occupational psychology, miners, unsafe behaviors, mining industry, theoretical models, data-driven, behavioral intervention
