MULTICRITERIA ANALYSIS OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS IN MINES WITH SURFACE OPERATIONS

Accident risk management in mining facilities includes measures to eliminate the possibility of accidents, which ensures that the risk of hazardous activities and hazardous substances is acceptable. Accident risk reduction takes place through accident prevention phases that are elaborated in detail separately for each mine and for each type of mining activity. In this paper, a multi-criteria analysis of the most important prevention measures is done in orderto reduce the risk of accidents in mines with surface exploitation. The analysis was performed by AHP method. The results are used to develop an optimal plan for mine prevention from accidents, and the most important measures are the selection of those technologies and technigues that pollute the environment less and the determination of endangered zones and adeguate spatial planning for new facilities, settlements and excavation dynamics.
