Selection System Prediction Of Safety: A Step Toward Zero Accidents In South African Mining, Rachel Aguilera-Vanderheyden
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The results show that the Raven's scores were significantly predictive of Serious Injuries when analyzed in isolation, …
