This study analyzes the relationship between frequency indices (FI), severity indices (SI), accident rates (AR), hazardous incidents, and fatal accidents in Peruvian mining (2010–2023). It addresses the issue of methodological differences in calculating these indices across sectors and their influence on preventing fatal accidents. Using data from MINEM, a descriptive-explanatory approach was applied, analyzing statistics on fatal accidents and hazardous incidents through descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results reveal a very weak correlation (0.253) between hazardous incidents and fatal accidents, a moderate positive correlation between FI and fatal accidents (0.507–0.633), and a strong correlation (0.808) between SI and fatal accidents, highlighting that severity has a more direct impact on fatalities. Finally, AR shows a moderate positive correlation (0.672) with fatal accidents. It concludes that safety indicators are related to the number of fatal accidents; however, preventing fatal accidents requires comprehensive strategies focused on reducing the frequency and severity of accidents, beyond merely monitoring indices.

摘要

This study analyzes the relationship between frequency indices (FI), severity indices (SI), accident rates (AR), hazardous incidents, and fatal accidents in Peruvian mining (2010–2023). It addresses the issue of methodological differences in calculating these indices across sectors and their influence on preventing fatal accidents. Using data from MINEM, a descriptive-explanatory approach was applied, analyzing statistics on fatal accidents and hazardous incidents through descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results reveal a very weak correlation (0.253) between hazardous incidents and fatal accidents, a moderate positive correlation between FI and fatal accidents (0.507–0.633), and a strong correlation (0.808) between SI and fatal accidents, highlighting that severity has a more direct impact on fatalities. Finally, AR shows a moderate positive correlation (0.672) with fatal accidents. It concludes that safety indicators are related to the number of fatal accidents; however, preventing fatal accidents requires comprehensive strategies focused on reducing the frequency and severity of accidents, beyond merely monitoring indices.
