There are many and complex factors influencing the safety status of electromechanical equipment in coal mines，and it is difficult to identify the potential safety hazards. To address these issues，a comprehensive safety evaluation model of electromechanical equipment in coal mines based on AHP-TOPSIS method was proposed. According to the cause theory of electromechanical equipment accidents in coal mines，20 evaluation indexes were selected from four aspects of human factors，electromechanical equipment maintenance，management organization，and working environment，and the safety status evaluation index system of electromechanical equipment in coal mines was constructed. Then，the AHP method was used to calculate the weight of each index，and the TOPSIS method was used to calculate the relative nearness degree between the sample and the ideal solution. The index weight was coupled with the relative nearness degree，and the safety level of electromechanical equipment in coal mines was predicted. Finally，the model was applied to a mine of Shanxi Coal Group. The results show that the safety level of electromechanical equipment in the coal mines mine is Level Ⅱ. According to the prediction results，the potential safety hazards are identified by reverse order analysis，and the analysis results are in line with the actual situation.
