Title A name given to the resource Applicability and Usefulness of the HFACS-GMI Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, E Stemn, N Amegbey Description An account of the resource To present information such as causes of accidents and their consequences on the Ghanaian mining industry in the safety literature, classification schemes for incident analysis within the safety literature were studied. Human Factor Analysis and Classification Scheme (HFACS) emerged suitable for incident analysis. Base on its suitability for incident analysis within the Ghanaian Mining Industry (GMI), a derivative of the HFACS, namely HFACS-GMI, was proposed. This research seeks to study the usefulness and the applicability of the HFACS-GMI. Collectively, 56 incident investigation reports were obtained from an open cast gold mine in Ghana and analysed using the HFACS-GMI. Two cases, an equipment damage incident and an injury incident, were used to demonstrate the coding processing in identifying the causal factors. The analysis shows that most mishaps are associated with adverse workplace/operator conditions (151 references), with the physical environment (72.2%) being cited as the major causal code under the tier. Management decision showed a major contribution (74.1%) to mishap under the causal codes. Most cases were attributed to mistake error (57.4%) followed by the contravention (51.1%) of set rules and procedures with the operator's act tiers. Inadequate work standards (27.8%) and failure to ensure competency (24.1%) under the operational process and leadership flaw causal codes, respectively, were identified as the most cited nanocode. Management decision is critical in a mishap and should be given much attention in developing accident prevention strategies. The study has demonstrated that HFACS-GMI is … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:Y0pCki6q_DkC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/0eec903088d278af76f715e28124a2c5.pdf e6dd01ec88900087c847a86151ad633b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Improving Remedial Measures from Incident Investigations: A Study Across Ghanaian Mines Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn Description An account of the resource Background Learning from incidents for accident prevention is a two-stage process, involving the investigation of past accidents to identify the causal factors, followed by the identification and implementation of remedial measures to address the identified causal factors. The focus of past research has been on the identification of causal factors, with limited focus on the identification and implementation of remedial measures. This research begins to contribute to this gap. The motivation for the research is twofold. First, previous analyses show the recurring nature of accidents within the Ghanaian mining industry, and the causal factors also remain the same. This raises questions on the nature and effectiveness of remedial measures identified to address the causes of past accidents. Secondly, without identifying and implementing remedial measures, the full benefits of accident investigations will not be achieved.

This study aimed to analyse the causal and contributory factors of accidents within Ghanaian gold mines. 701 accident investigation reports were collected from 7 large-scale mine sites. The reports were classified and coded using the human factor analysis and classification system adopted for the Ghana mining industry to identify the causes of accidents, taking into account the severity levels of the accidents. Unlike previous studies that focused mostly on high-consequence accidents, this study considered accidents of different severities to determine if associations exist between the severity levels and the causal factors. The results revealed that the majority of the causes of accidents were at the workplace/operator conditions tier. Specifically, leadership flaws were associated with accidents of high … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:YsMSGLbcyi4C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d2de8af19a89d107d3d3e41cd5e233dc.pdf f770e1f1b1e8ed0f97e444119e646c90 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Relationships among causal factors influencing mine accidents using structural equation modelling Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn, Newton Amegbey Description An account of the resource Accidents occur due to a series of interactions between deficiencies within the various levels of a sociotechnical system. Quantifying the relationship between upper and lower levels helps develop accident countermeasures focusing on significant organisational latent conditions. This study explores the relationship between the causal factors of accidents within Ghanaian mines using SEM. Data obtained from the analysis of incident reports using HFACS-GMI were quantified to enable its use in the SEM software, as SEM calculations cannot be done using a 0/1 description. The study also tests five hypotheses, including the basic assumption of the HFACS model. The case study results showed that organisational factors significantly influence workplace/individual conditions; upper causal categories do not only influence adjacent immediate lower causal categories, and partial correlations exist between causal … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor & Francis Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:eQOLeE2rZwMC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/8819afb998145a718e2d8a781f4cafbf.pdf d53dc01de16b61daef22133ba55d3656 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 444 Nature of past remedial measures: the case of Ghanaian mining industry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn, Newton Amegbey Description An account of the resource Background Two processes are required to prevent similar/same events from occurring again whenever an accident occurs; causal factors identification and planning and implementation of remedial measures. Without proper planning and implementation, latent conditions with the system will remain unfixed, and accidents will continue to occur. A preliminary analysis of investigations reports within the Ghanaian Mines reveals that the cases are similar, which raises the question, What is the nature of the remedial measures proposed to address the causes identified? Methods The study adopts SMARTER from the business studies with the addition of HMW (H-Hierarchical, M-Mapping and W-Weighting of causal factors) to analyse the recommendations from 500 cases obtained from seven gold mines in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of the potability of underground water from a small scale underground mine: A case study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Michael Stanley Peprah, Maxwell Mingle Opoku Description An account of the resource This study sought to investigate the potability of underground water from the Mohammed and Brothers Small Scale Underground Mine in Tarkwa by analysing two samples of the underground water to determine the water’s physico-chemical parameters and the metals concentrations and coliforms in it. The physico-chemical parameters were analysed using Oyster series multi-meter (341350A) and Hydro test HT 1000 photometer. The result showed that the parameters were within the recommended World Health Organisation (WHO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) limits except for salinity and apparent colour. Analyses for metals and arsenic were conducted using the Varian Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (Varian ASS 240 FS). All the metals analysed were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA but the level of arsenic was above limit. The level of total coliforms and faecal coliforms were determined at the Intertek Service Limited, Tarkwa. The result showed that the levels were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated using the analysed water parameters. High levels of arsenic and salinity in the water renders it unsafe for drinking. Treatment of the water to reduce the arsenic and salinity levels to the standards set by WHO and USEPA will make it suitable for drinking and other domestic purposes.

Title A name given to the resource Human factor analysis framework for Ghana’s mining industry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Newton Amegbey, Eric Stemn Description An account of the resource In an attempt to incorporate human factors into technical failures as accident causal factors, researchers have promoted the concept of human factor analysis. Human factor analysis models seek to identify latent conditions within the system that influence the operator’s action to trigger an accident. For an effective application of human factor analysis models, a domain-specific model is recommended. Most existing models are developed with category/subcategory peculiar to a particular domain. This presents challenges and hinders effective application outside the domain developed for. This paper sought to propose a human factor analysis framework for Ghana’s mining industry. A comparative study was carried out between three dominated accident causation models and investigation methods in literature; AcciMap, HFACS, and STAMP. The comparative assessment showed that HFACS is suitable for incident data analysis based on the following reason; ease of learning and use, suitability for multiple incident analysis and statistical quantification of trends and patterns, and high inter and intra-coder reliability. A thorough study was done on HFACS and its derivative. Based on recommendations and research findings on HFACS from literature, Human Factor Analysis, and Classification System–Ghana Mining Industry (HFACS-GMI) was proposed. The HFACS-GMI has 4 tiers, namely; External influence/factor, Organisational factor, Local Workplace/Individual Condition and, Unsafe Act. A partial list of causal factors under each tier was generated to serve as a guide during incident coding and investigation. The HFACS-GMI consists of 18 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Mining Journal Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/bed18ac690d79c542d4383cbda30b016.pdf 499357c953fe56c0eae8a9b7c2c352c0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Ict Audit Practices in Ghanaian Private Sector Companies; A Case Study of Kpmg-Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Nii Armah Description An account of the resource Efficiency and productivity in audit assurance has compelled auditors to apply tools of information technology and systems to facilitate work in both private and public institutions. These computer-based platforms assist both internal and external auditors to minimize errors, fraud and omissions to ensure accountability, transparency and value for money in corporate organizations. Although several businesses and organizations incur huge cost to deploy information and communication technology infrastructure, the purpose and value for acquisition is often not realized in the presence of technological advancement due to some determinants. This study was conducted mainly to focus on ICT audit and its necessitation. It also took into consideration the experiences, advantages and disadvantages or setbacks if any and why other organizations must integrate it into their systems. The study was undertaken considering Ghanaian private sectors with the main focus being on Klynveld, Peat, Marwick and Goerdeler (KPMG) auditing company. Its significance is to enhance system security and minimize vulnerabilities on infrastructure deployments and processes and to offer a guideline that is aimed at aiding companies in terms of policy enforcement. It can also help expatiate the possibility and importance of retaining company’s internal auditors and realign their mandate since most tasks and mandate has been provisioned to be handled by all enterprise systems. The study employed the use of mixed method thus the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative part of the study employed the use of semi structured meetings, face to face interviews, telephone interviews and secondary data obtained from the literature. The quantitative methods involved mainly the use surveys in the form of questionnaires. The data was obtained from a sample size of 20 staffs which were up of two (2) Leadership and Management Personnel, three (3) Heads of Department, six (6) Technical team staffs and nine (9) junior staff on ICT audit.
