Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article is to analyze the process of occupational hazard identification in underground coal mining operations. Given the inherently high level of risk associated with mining activities, particular emphasis is placed on the accurate identification and characterization of hazard sources as a foundation for effective occupational risk assessment. The paper also seeks to propose a systematic classification of hazards that takes into account both their sources and their potential health and accident-related consequences. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on a comprehensive review of scientific literature and applicable legal regulations related to occupational health and safety in underground mining. The study was conducted using secondary data analysis, incorporating a review of normative documents and academic publications addressing occupational hazard issues. Findings: As a result of this analysis, a structured classification of hazards was developed, including the determination of their characteristic features. This provides a foundation for further application in the context of selecting appropriate risk assessment methodologies. Research limitations: Despite the broad analytical approach, which encompasses a review of scientific literature, legal frameworks, and accident causation data in the coal mining industry, the study remains theoretical and statistical in nature. It does not include data obtained directly from workplace observations in mining operations. The accident analysis is based on publicly available statistical reports and documents issued by mining supervisory authorities, which may limit the ability to fully capture the organizational and technical context of each event. Implications: The presented classification of occupational hazards in the mining industry may serve as a foundation for optimizing occupational risk assessment processes by enabling a better alignment of assessment methods with the specific characteristics of identified hazards. A more in-depth characterization of hazard sources and their consequences can also contribute to a more accurate definition of preventive measures and more effective planning of protective strategies. The article contributes to the development of the theoretical foundations of safety management in mining by systematizing the hazard identification process within the framework of occupational risk assessment. Practical implications: The findings of the study may provide a foundation for developing a more comprehensive methodology for occupational risk assessment that incorporates the characteristic features of hazards. Consequently, they can facilitate the definition and optimization of preventive measures targeted at the sources of hazards.
