Background: Mining accidents in truck transportation activities are the most common accidents in the mining industry in Southeast Sulawesi Province in the last 3 years and often cause fatalities. Previous studies have not identified all types of dominant causes of mining accidents in truck transportation activities, be it direct causes, basic causes, or lack of management control. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of mining accidents in truck transportation activities in the Southeast Sulawesi Region in 2021-2023.
Method: The research used is qualitative phenomenology to understand and describe the dominant accident-causing factors from mining accident phenomena in transportation activities using trucks.
Results: The dominant causes of mining accidents in truck transportation activities in Southeast Sulawesi Province in 2021-2023 were: driving above the speed limit; drivers not wearing safety belts and helmets; downhill road conditions with a grade above 12% and long; drivers lack knowledge/skills; lack of supervision; and inadequate SOP and HIRA.
Conclusion: Corrective actions that can be taken to minimize the occurrence of mining accidents in truck transportation activities are: increasing supervision and socialization related to speed limits, as well as the use of safety belts and helmets; striving for engineering, maximizing supervision and completing road signs on downhill road segments with grades above 12% and long; implementing new worker training and annual refresher courses with output in the form of SIMPER which is valid for a maximum of 1 year; meeting the needs/ratio of operational supervisors, and ensuring that SOP and IBPR are adequate for truck transportation activities.
