#0183;#32;Whole body vibration (WBV) is a slow forming physical hazard that occurs in mining workers and other occupations that work with heavy machinery. In the mining environment, WBV can be caused either by spending a lot of time sitting on machinery, which is most of the time in mining extraction, or by standing, such as working on jumbo operators.
#0183;#32;Mining remains an important industrial sector in many parts of the world and although substantial progress has been made in the control of occupational health hazards, there remains room for further risk reduction. This applies particularly to traumatic injury hazards, ergonomic hazards and noise.

Here are some ways to avoid the health hazards associated with mining. Heat and thermal stress. Mining and quarrying carry high risks of dehydration and heat or thermal stress, and many mining activities put workers at a high risk of exposure to excessive heat and humidity. In hot weather the risk of heat stress can be particularly high.

Occupational health hazards in mining: an overview
#0183;#32;The Gleision Colliery tragedy reminds us of how dangerous mining jobs can be and how specifically hazardous underground mining remains. Fire, flood, collapse, toxic atmospheric contaminants, and dust or gas explosion are the most critical
Occupational health hazards in mining: an overview. psychosocial occupational health hazards of mining and associated metallurgical Mining remains
To work safely, miners must be able to identify work place hazards, know and understand the risks associated with these hazards, and then make the decision to mediate the hazards. The year 2013 saw an increase in the number of fatalities at metal/nonmetal mines relative to the previous two years, and this number continued to be high in 2014.
#0183;#32;To conclude, the occupational hazards mentioned above are only a few of the most common and dangerous risks miners have to risk. Fortunately, the modern mining environments are not as dangerous as they once used to be, in terms of both mine structure and miners health.
#0183;#32;5. Other BlastingRelated Hazards . Mineinduced seismicity is also another hazard. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, many fatalities in underground mines related to explosives were caused by miners being too close to the blast.
#0183;#32;In the area of major hazards control, the mining industry approach has emphasized mainly on past experiences and lessons learnt, while other high

Occupational health hazards associated with miningHow to avoid them? It is well documented that working in the mining industry is a high risk endeavour. Accidents and fatalities are, sadly, not uncommon. Over a span of five years beginning in 2007 to 2008 and ending in 2011 to 2012, there were 36 mining industry fatalities. At
