Automation of operational activities in trackless underground hard rock mines is very common and necessary trend in present day Indian mining scenario. The use of various types of electrical machineries and equipments like electro-hydraulic drill jumbo, electrically operated LHD (Load haul Dump), auxiliary and booster ventilation fans, winding system and pumping system etc. are essential requirements for carrying out mining operations efficiently and safely. Beside this, mine Illumination system comprises large number of electrical components. As the use of the electricity is indispensable in nature and exposure of miners to the electrical equipments is increasing day- by- day, the occurrence of electricity related accidents in mining industry is also increasing. In this context, a detailed study on recent accident/incidents caused by electrical installations in mines and associated hazardous issues in a trackless underground hard rock mine was conducted. The major outcomes of case study exhibited the necessity of a methodical approach using suitable scientific tools to moderate the hazards associated with the electrical equipments and installations during different unit operations in case study mine. As the measures of control, a proactive Mine Electrical Safety Management System (MESMS) has been established in accordance with Directorate General of Mine safety (DGMS), India, guidelines, CEA (Central Electricity Authority) Regulation,2010, India and Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) procedure and instigated for implementation. In this paper; design and development of various components of MESMS viz. hazard identification and Risk assessment of electrical equipment operations and maintenance activities, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for significant hazards and apposite   work plans (WP) to accomplish the goal of operational safety have been demonstrated.
