Abstract: To realise optimal selection of key posts and reduce human-initiated accidents in coal mines, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is established for miners' emergency response capacity (ERC) together with an index system. First, a hierarchical structure that has four first-level indexes and 14 second-level indexes is constructed on account of literature dependence and safety engineering practices. Secondly, all indexes' weights are determined by means of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which is widely used to identify indexes' relative importance. Thirdly, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on fuzzy mathematics is used to study each index's weight distribution, and a total score is calculated in fuzzy evaluation. Finally, we take some coalmines as an example to illustrate the validity of the proposed evaluation model, and countermeasures can be put forward to improve miners' emergency capability in accordance with evaluation results.
