        abstract = {Unsafe worker behavior is a significant contributing factor to accidents in the mining industry, which is considered one of the most hazardous globally (Paul &Maiti, 2007; J. Zhang et al., 2020). This study categorizes incidents into minor, major, and serious classifications and examines the variables influencing the hazardous behaviors of Indian miners. Descriptive analysis reveals substantial variation in miner demographics and safety attitudes, emphasizing the necessity for tailored interventions. Correlation studies indicate a positive association between education level and safety awareness, while temporary workers exhibit increased risk-taking behavior. Regression analysis demonstrates that worker type, education, job dissatisfaction, and risk-taking behavior significantly influence accident severity, whereas psychological factors such as negative affectivity and external support mitigate risks. Multinomial logistic regression confirms that experience and work dissatisfaction have no significant impact on accident outcomes, but age, education, and family safety recommendations do.},
