    1. The document discusses factors that contribute to the accident vulnerability of mines. It identifies 16 system danger indicators that are used to assess accident vulnerability. These include geo-mining conditions like depth and thickness of seams, geological disturbances, gas levels, and roof support systems. 2. Accident vulnerability is determined by the accident potential level of the mine and various sub-systems within the mine. While accident proneness is the effect, vulnerability is the cause. A mine can have high or low vulnerability but high or low accident rates depending on safety measures. 3. Vulnerability can be assessed at the whole mine level or for individual sub-systems and districts to prioritize safety resources most effectively. Understanding vulnerability helps
