Amasra Mining Accident Report Completed


After the disaster in the Amasra Mining Accident, the investigation commission established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey completed its work and the Accident Investigation Commission Report was prepared. The Accident Investigation Commission of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was established to take precautions of such accidents in the mines and to prevent them from happening again.


 
In the report prepared by the Investigation Commission, all the factors affecting the accident were discussed and the cause of the accident, the disruptions and deficiencies experienced at the time of the accident were stated. Three different classifications were made on the causes of the accident. Fundamental causes, direct causes and indirect causes are included in separate headings in the occurrence of accidents.

Formation of Explosive Environment

The fact that the ventilation project did not remain below the methane explosion lower limits was effective in the occurrence of the accident. Another problem has emerged as the furnace air increasing the furnace resistance by circulating many long and independent furnace openings working at the same time. Insufficient furnace air flow, ineffective use of local ventilation, failure of one of the local ventilation fans during the accident, air flow velocities below the legal limits are listed as the factors affecting the formation of an explosive atmosphere.

Lack of Effective Control Mechanism

The fact that the blast excavation activities carried out during the work were not carried out in accordance with the legislation and that an effective control and inspection mechanism was not established to supervise them increased the risk of accident occurrence. The fact that there was only one personnel in the gas monitoring room at the time of the accident and that the accident monitoring system was not integrated with the alarm system caused the underground network communication to weaken. In the external audits, it was stated that no determination or suggestion was made regarding the root causes of the accident and the causal link. In addition to all these, it has been stated that the fact that the occupational health and safety trainings remain theoretical, will provide practical skills, and that they are not supported by practice is also effective in increasing the impact of the accident.

In the report prepared by the Research Commission, suggestions were also made to prevent such accidents from happening again. It is suggested that criminal and administrative sanctions should provide deterrence to those who have negligence, fault and responsibility in the accident. It has been proposed to establish an independent mining occupational health and safety institution in order to review the mining legislation and to carry out mining activities under a single roof in accordance with international standards.
