AB  - There are rare studies carried regarding the assessment of the anthropometric convenience of transport and mining machinery. The first aim of this paper is to examine if there are differences between transport and mining machinery operators from the aspect of foot controls, the second aim is to compare the most common causes of downtime and failure and the third aim is to compare if there are differences in the field of injuries at work of both machinery types. Samples of 31 transport and 65 mining machinery operators were examined. Analysis is done by using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov test for normality, Mann–Whitney U test, and Pareto analysis. Comparison of operators’ height and weight, vibrations feeling through the foot controls and its easiness to be reached and used/controlled and injuries rates have not shown statistically significant differences found between transport and mining machinery. Pareto analysis on failures and stoppages of both types of machinery found completely different causes in the field of “vital few”. Anyhow, since statistically proved facts show that there are no differences regarding safety and human factors issues it could be indicated to designers that there is the possibility of applying the same innovative solutions to both types of mechanization in the field of foot controls.
