Optimization of the occupational safety compliance control (OSCC) system at a coal mining enterprise

Abstract

The causes for occupational safety violations at coal mining enterprises are considered. The fixed fines control model and the model with occupational safety violations punished by dismissal are described. The theory & game approach is used to create an efficient controlling body that makes it possible to exclude any chance of conspiracy. The optimal probabilities of examinations and inspector salaries that minimize expenditures are found. A single-level control system is compared with a twolevel control system. The region of parameter values for each variant, where a given variant is preferable, is specified.
