TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Evaluating targeted intervention on coal miners' unsafe behavior JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Tong, Ruipeng A1 - Zhang, Yanwei A1 - Yang, Yunyun A1 - Jia, Qingli A1 - Ma, Xiaofei A1 - Shao, Guohua SP - e16030422 EP - e16030422 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - Miners' unsafe behavior is the main cause of roof accidents in coal mines, and behavior intervention plays a significant role in reducing the occurrence of miners' unsafe behavior. However, traditional behavior intervention methods lack pertinence. In order to improve the intervention effect and reduce the occurrence of coal mine roof accidents more effectively, this study proposed a targeted intervention method for unsafe behavior. The process of targeted intervention node locating was constructed, and based on the analysis of 331 coal mine roof accidents in China, three kinds of targeted intervention nodes were located. The effectiveness of targeted intervention nodes was evaluated by using structural equation model (SEM) through randomly distributing questionnaires to miners of Pingdingshan coal. The results show that, in preventing roof accidents of coal mines, the targeted intervention nodes have a significant positive impact on the intervention effect. The method can also be applied to the safety management of other industries by adjusting the node location and evaluation process.
