Abstract
Human errors in the area of mining engineering are of critical issue that has serious concerns in safety, operation and production performance. There is a need for finding cause and effect relations with respect to the maintenance issues in order to detect, scrutinize and take necessary actions to reduce it. This paper deals with the human errors in the mining machines for the maintenance problems using fishbone cause and effect analysis. The investigation of these causes and effects are carried out during different operating conditions in typical mining industry and potential problems are assessed. There are several recommendations are provided to reduce the effect of human error so as to increase production by careful consideration of maintenance activities.
