Powered haulage continues to be a large safety concern for the mining industry, accounting for approximately 50% of the mining fatal accidents every year. Among these fatal accidents, haul-truck-related accidents are the most common, with 6 of 28 and 6 of 27 fatal accidents occurring in 2017 and 2018, respectively. To better understand why these accidents continue to occur and what can be done to prevent them, researchers reviewed the 91 haul-truck-related fatal accidents that occurred in the USA from 2005 to 2018 and performed bow-tie analyses using the final reports published by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. The analyses explore the context of the accidents with a focus on the initiating event, event outcome, hazards present, and possible preventative and mitigative controls. Overall, the vast majority of the accidents resulted in a haul truck colliding with the environment, and the majority of these events were initiated by loss of situational awareness or loss of control. The majority of the hazards were related to design and organizational controls. The results of this study suggest a need to investigate operator decision-making and organizational controls and to focus on improving design and operation controls such as mine design and operational procedures.

动力运输仍然是采矿业的一个重大安全问题，每年约占采矿致命事故的 50%。在这些致命事故中，与运输卡车有关的事故最为常见，2017 年和 2018 年分别发生了 28 起死亡事故中的 6 起和 27 起致命事故中的 6 起。为了更好地了解为什么这些事故继续发生以及可以采取哪些措施来防止它们，研究人员回顾了 2005 年至 2018 年在美国发生的 91 起与拖车相关的致命事故，并使用由矿山安全与健康管理局。分析探索事故的背景，重点关注始发事件、事件结果、存在的危险以及可能的预防和缓解控制。全面的，绝大多数事故导致运输卡车与环境相撞，其中大多数事件是由于失去态势感知或失去控制而引发的。大多数危害与设计和组织控制有关。这项研究的结果表明，需要调查运营商的决策和组织控制，并专注于改进设计和运营控制，例如矿山设计和运营程序。
