20/3/2019#0183;#32;Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used for data analysis. Workers'' climate change risk perception, as confirmed by trends in climate data, was reasonable, but concerns about climate change effects and workplace heat exposure risks varied significantly across types of mining activity (p lt; ).
Issue addressed: Workplace practitioners are well placed to provide practical insights on sedentary behaviour issues in the workplace. This study consulted occupational health and safety (OHS) practitioners, examining their perceptions of sedentary health risks and views on strategies and influences to reduce and break prolonged occupational sitting.
The inclusion criteria for focus group participants were occupational health expertise or professional interest ensuring broad representation from professional bodies, trade unions, current practitioners (occupational health nurses and occupational physicians), and employers from a range of industries (, mining, retail).

Mercury, used in the processing gold ore, and arsenic, which is a constituent of some ores, are common occupational exposures that frequently result in widespread environmental contamination. Frequently, the mining activities are conducted haphazardly without

1/9/2016#0183;#32;The subject of occupational health and safety management in the mining sector is on the rise because of the increasing demand for minerals and the highrisk factors associated with it. The case for employees and organizations is that, according to Demba et al [11], in developing nations, the rates of industrial and occupational injuryrelated deaths and disabilities are on the rise.
Examining the latest in government policy and professional best practice. In recent years, a revolution in thinking about health and safety in the workplace has been quietly underway. Health and safety has had a traditional focus on physical safety risks and occupational disease, but mental and emotional wellbeing has entered workplace health and safety discussions and programs.
16/10/2020#0183;#32;Miners are at risk of developing a lung disease called pneumoconiosis because of their regular exposure to airborne respirable dust, and miners with five or more years'' mining experience who are exposed to exhaust from diesel engines have an increased risk of dying from lung cancer. Pneumoconioses (meaning dusty lung) can cause impairment,
