The sporadic near-misses in the process of coal mine transportation causes interference to the safe and smooth production of coal mine. In order to scientifically prevent and control the occurrence of near-misses in coal mine transportation, the influential factors of near-misses in coal mine transportation have to be defined so as to take corresponding control strategies. Based on the initial established evaluation index system of influencing factors of near-misses in coal mine transportation, this paper constructed the structural equation model. Then questionnaire was designed, and questionnaire survey was carried out. The reliability and validity of the sample data were tested using SPSS24.0 and the model was verified and corrected using AMOS21.0. Results show that near-misses in coal mine transportation are influenced by such factors as transportation equipment system, organization and management system, quality of staff and workplace environment, with the influence degree of the above factors presenting a descending order. Moreover, the system of organization management exerts different degree of impact on the transportation equipment system, quality of staff and the workplace environment and the impact gets smaller and smaller following this order. Finally, the paper put forward the strategy of implementing standard operating procedures, establishing management mechanisms, strengthening safety culture construction, carrying out closed-loop education and training strategies, etc.
