With the second highest fatal injury rate, mining remains one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Despite continued research and regulation on technology-based solutions, tragedies like Upper Big Branch (2010) and Sago (2006) still highlight a lack of consideration for the human component. Human Systems Integration (HSI) incorporates the needs of any human interaction within the system into the design process to optimize both safety and efficiency of the system. Currently, the mining industry lacks a similar set of guidelines to ensure both usability by the miner and increased safety of the mining working environment. This research project will use an HSI approach to answer a series of questions because HSI is based on the understanding that people are the critical elements within systems and adopting a human-centric perspective of systems increases productivity and safety, while decreasing costs (Tvaryanas, 2006). The goal of this project is to determine: (1) what information is critical for a miner to safely perform his job, (2) what processes (e.g., expertise, decision making, attention, etc.) are necessary for a miner to effectively perform his job, and (3) how the miner and the machine interact.
