DDAS accidents by primary activity

Accidents do not always happen during a single activity. For example, a missed-mine may be located while cutting vegetation, or a detection accident may occur during a survey. All accidents with common features can be located by making a complex search using the database software. Unfortunately, it is only possible at this time to put the data on line - not the database software itself.

Demolition
Detection
Excavation
Handling

Mechanical excavation
Missed-mine
Other
Survey
Tripwire
Vegetation removal
Victim inattention



This graphic shows the relative frequency of accidents during the various activities. It is obvious that excavation accidents outnumber missed-mine accidents - which explains why severe hand and arm injury is the most frequent severely disabling outcome.
