This study aims to discuss personal and behavioral parameters contributing to heat-related
accidents. To study the prevention approaches, it is essential to look at the various factors at
the individual, management, and industrial levels. Qualitative risk analysis methods are
used based on the public data in the USA to find the impact of the environmental and
behavioral parameters on the heat stress and heat strain of mine workers. The effects of
individual factors such as worker experience, age, fitness, lifestyle, acclimation, and more …

Among the hazards in the mining industry, exposure to excessive heat can negatively affect
the safety, health, and productivity of mine workers. This study aimed to investigate the
effects of environmental and physiological parameters on the thermal comfort of workers in
hot and humid working areas. The comfort model predicts the comfort limit of the mine
workers in the form of maximum allowable sweat rate and maximum allowable exposure
time. In this work, the impact of the clothing insulation along with the role of acclimation and …
