Human is the most important asset of a mining company. Therefore, mine safety is a paramount topic in mining operations. Present stochastic models are not adequate to explain mine safety-related human behavior. At the same time, cognitive engineering and complexity science have made significant progress in the last two decades. This progress can pave a way to improve safety issues in a mining operation. The research aims to integrate new cognitive engineering and complexity science findings to the specific characteristic of the mining safety in the case where intricate interactions and couplings occur especially. Thus, the mining operations will have an analytic tool that human–machine interactions are understood, and the safety of operations is enhanced
