The document discusses causes of accidents related to rope haulage systems in underground mines and remedial measures. The major causes include runaway of tubs due to rope or coupling failures, lack of safety devices, unauthorized travel, uncontrolled tub movement, derailment, poor curve construction, and coupling/uncoupling issues. Remedial measures involve proper maintenance and inspection of ropes, couplings, and tracks as well as installation of safety devices like stop blocks and switches. Improving track standards, drainage, and points/crossings construction can also help reduce accidents from rope haulages.
