Abstract
Although some studies were conducted on various parameters that affect safety and health of mine workers, there has been scarce research on specific accidents involving fatalities. The most important hard coal reserves of Turkey are located only around Zonguldak province in the northwest of Anatolia. The number of fatalities that occurred in the coal-mine fields in the Zonguldak Basin from 2000 to 2014 is appraised by count regression analysis. To describe the relationships between the locations and the cases, a Poisson Regression model with coun t data has been developed. In this way, general attention has been drawn to this risky work area. Based on the statistical analyses and tests, the proposed model provided considerable explanation. The model and the risk scenarios showed that the results can be used by decision makers to provide a comprehensive sustainability assessment. Key words: Coal mining, fatality, count data, Poisson regression, loss prevention.
