Abstract

A work accident can occur anytime and anywhere to the worker if they take unsafe action and are in an unsafe condition. Mining areas located in the hills have unsafe conditions for operating heavy equipment, such as steep terrain conditions, slippery roads, and foggy weather, and lack of lighting. Installation of light assign is the right step in reducing work accidents at night, foggy and rainy weather. Measurement of wind data and calculation of wind potential statistically using Weibull distribution. The parameter values of scale and shape are 1.67 and 1,71 respectively, with an average wind speed of 1,49 m/s and the wind power potential of 3.14 W/m2. Based on measurement and analysis results, this quarry always gets wind gusts both day and night, so it has the potential to take advantage of wind energy either on a small turbine scale or in small and medium electric power.

Highlights

Limestone is a raw material for cement production
Work accidents can occur to workers anytime and anywhere if they take unsafe actions and they are in unsafe conditions
A work accident is undesirable even and often unpredictable, which can cause loss of a good time, possessions, or property or loss of life that occurred in a work mining process or related to it

Summary

Introduction

In the mining of limestone, there are stages of the process, they are land clearing, drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, crushing, and conveying. The mining process cannot be separated from the worker factor must be considered, by guaranteeing health and safety and preventing accidents. Work accidents can occur to workers anytime and anywhere if they take unsafe actions and they are in unsafe conditions. A work accident is undesirable even and often unpredictable, which can cause loss of a good time, possessions, or property or loss of life that occurred in a work mining process or related to it. As soon as possible work accidents are minimized to make the whole mining process run smoothly and the safety of workers is protected [1]
