Abstract

As in all work areas, the activity of protecting worker health must be done together with monitoring of the workplace and health surveillance at the mine. Health surveillance must configure with the correct recruitment examination and periodic examinations on time. It is necessary if we aim for occupational safety at mines, where the industrial accident frequency is very high. A true and real first aid schedule is very important for helping decrease the severity after accidents. These facts must create the basic rules of an occupational physician’s work at a mine.
