Planning the investigation of criminal cases related to mining accidents plays a crucial role in effectively organising investigative work. It contributes to a prompt, objective and comprehensive clarification of the circumstances of the incident. Also, it allows for the determination of the optimal set of organisational and priority investigative measures. This approach includes immediate formulation of investigation tasks; putting forward and verifying versions of the causes of accidents of a criminal nature; developing methods and tactics for verifying them; widespread use of scientific and technical means and rational tactical decisions. Particular attention is paid to creating an algorithm of necessary investigative actions when drawing up a plan; the specifics of conducting a mining and technical examination; questioning representatives of the mine management and engineering and technical personnel. Based on the analysis, the authors propose specific measures to improve the methodology and planning of accident investigations at mining enterprises.
