Mitigating mining-related disease risks requires a spectrum of tools ranging from hazard identification and exposure measurement to control validation and measuring employee fitness-for-duty. From the context of real-life mining scenarios and business cases, the course will cover mining-related diseases, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine approaches for anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling mining hazards and measuring miner fitness-for-duty; with the primary focus on recognizing and evaluating hazards and managing risk through controls and regulatory compliance. The course will dive deeply into the cause-effect of miner health and diseases while emphasizing the qualitative and quantitative assessment tools to validate controls and mitigate health risks. Techniques will be applied for hazard identification, quantification of risk, and appropriate application of the hierarchy of controls.
