Estimation of risk perception of mine workers in underground metalliferous mines using multivariate structural equation modelling.

ABSTRACT: India's legislative compliance-based present mine safety management system has perceptibly been responsible for some considerable up-gradation in mine safety scenarios over the last few decades. Although implementing long-established reactive safety management procedures has reduced substantial numbers of frequent and severe accidents, the outcomes reveal the prerequisite of more trustworthy and holistic approaches in mine safety management systems. In this paper, the synergic direct or indirect effects of all considered risk perception factors of mine workers working in an Indian underground metalliferous mine were approximated using Multivariate Structural Equation Modelling (MSEM). In this context, pertinent questionnaires with five-point Likert scale response options were designed to q
