Abstract:

To reveal the characteristics of coal mine accidents in China in recent years, and put forward targeted countermeasures and suggestions for accident prevention, firstly, the major and catastrophic coal mine accidents in China from 2013 to 2023 were collected and analyzed from the aspects of the year, type, month, province and cause of the accident. Secondly, taking "2·22" particularly serious collapse accident in Inner Mongolia Xinjing coal mine as an example, the accident was analyzed based on 24Model. Finally, combined with the above analysis and research results, the accident prevention countermeasures and suggestions in line with the current situation of coal mine safety production in China were put forward. The analysis and research results show that the number of major accidents and deaths in coal mines has shown an overall downward trend, and the level of coal mine safety production in China has significantly improved since the 12th Five Year Plan. Gas accidents are still the main accidents in coal mines in China, accounting for 51%. The fourth quarter of each year is a period of high incidence of coal mine accidents, accounting for 30.43% of the total number of accidents. Affected by geological conditions and occurrence, accidents often occur in the main coal producing areas. The proportion of accidents caused by unsafe human behavior is as high as 74%. When there are hidden dangers at both the individual and organizational levels and the dual prevention measures are not in place, accidents are likely to occur. Countermeasures and suggestions for reducing coal mine safety accidents are put forward from four dimensions, including safety supervision, strengthening safety through science and technology, team development and safety culture.

Key words: coal mine, major accident, statistical analysis, "2-4" model (24Model), accident cause, unsafe behavior
