Stop Isolate each step in a task and identify past and potential accidents, injuries, and violations.Measure Evaluate the risks associated with the task and barriers that have allowed hazards to cause injuriesAct Implement controls to minimize or eliminate any hazards that make the risk unacceptableReview Conduct frequent work site visits to observe work practices and audit accidents, injuries, and violations to identify root causesTrain Develop a human factor-based action plan and then involve and train the miners

The majority of fatal accidents have these common root causes

•Failure to identify hazards

•Failure to manage risks
