Synthesis Report: Mine Workers and Mine Health and Safety Synthesis
Topic Area: Mine Workers and Mine Health and Safety
Findings:
Studies receiving a low causal evidence rating provide valuable information about the intervention.
Engineering controls prevented injuries or improved safety practices that could prevent injuries.
Enforcement activities improved health and safety outcomes but the evidence base is small.
The only moderate-rated study on safety regulations showed no significant impact on health and safety outcomes.
Training interventions may increase knowledge and skills that could improve health and safety outcomes.
