Abstract
AbstractTo effectively prevent gas explosion accidents in coal mines, this study analyzes the flow of safety information in complex systems and subsequently reveals the influence of information loss on accident evolution. Safety information in the context of gas explosion accidents is defined and combined with related theories of informatics to analyze the process and the loss of safety information flow in 30 gas explosion incidents. Thereby, a chain of safety information loss is established. Further, based on the basic theories of cognitive science, organizational behavior, and the cause of safety information loss, an accident‐cause model for gas explosions is constructed. The model is applied to a gas explosion incident to determine the causes of the accident, thus verifying its applicability. In addition, the corresponding preventive measures are proposed. The results indicate that the loss of safety information affects gas explosion accidents in coal mines, and the proposed accident‐cause model can provide theoretical support for the prevention and further research of gas explosion accidents.
