Abstract

This paper delves into the critical significance of equipment maintenance in ensuring safety within the mining industry. By analyzing data from 40 diverse mining sites over a three - year period, a series of statistical analyses using SPSS and Rare conducted. The research reveals that regular and effective equipment maintenance, especially preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, has a substantial negative correlation with equipment - related accident rates. The findings provide actionable insights for mining companies to optimize their maintenance programs, reduce accident risks, and enhance overall operational safety and efficiency.
