摘      要：Mine accidents and injuries are complex and generally characterized by several factors starting from personal to technical, and technical to social *** this study, an attempt has been made to identify the various factors responsible for work related injuries in mines and to estimate the risk of work injury to mine *** prediction of work injury in mines was done by a step-by-step multivariate logistic regression modeling with an application to case study mines in *** total, 18 variables were considered in this *** of the variables are not directly *** were developed to quantify them through a questionnaire type *** mine workers were randomly selected for the *** from 300 participants were used for the *** variables, age, negative affectivity, job dissatisfaction, and physical hazards, bear significant discriminating power for risk of injury to the workers, comparing between cases and controls in a multivariate situation while controlling all the personal and socio-technical *** analysis reveals that negatively affected workers are 2.54 times more prone to injuries than the less negatively affected workers and this factor is a more important risk factor for the case-study *** term planning through identification of the negative individuals, proper counseling regarding the adverse effects of negative behaviors and special training is urgently *** should be taken for the aged and experienced workers in terms of their job responsibility and training *** should provide a friendly atmosphere during work to increase the confidence of the injury prone miners.
