Abstract: On the basis of the anti-violation behavior record and accident reports of an open pit mine in 2015, habitual violation behaviors were further classified, there were four index data, including the operational violation, device violation, management violation and operating standard violation. The path analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze the driving force inducing accident factors. The results showed that the operation violation was the main driving force in an accident, and the operating standard violation was often the precondition of the unsafe action occurrence, so the operating standard violation was indirect maximum driving force, and the operating standard would be further reduced if workers were not stopped in time as the operating violation occurred. In an accident, the operating standard violation and the management violation were the secondary driving force. If they were not corrected for long time, it would directly lead to the accident occurrence or indirectly affect behavior choices and habits of workers, thereby promoted workers to induce the tendency of the operational violation.
