“…It enables operators to feel more secure in carrying out their daily tasks, leading to a reduction in errors and defects. Also, a safe working environment increases productivity, which improves the quality of products or services, and this all leads to the sustainability of mining operations (Haas & Yorio, 2021). Providing a safe working environment for employees can increase their motivation and commitment, making them feel supported and valued by the company (Montibeller & Von Winterfeldt, 2015).…”

“…The entire process of mining exposes miners to many hazards, such as extreme temperatures, injuries caused by mining machinery and falls (Haas & Yorio, 2021). Also, work equipment, mechanization, working environment conditions, and outdated working methods are very critical and lead to accidents (Li et al, 2019).…”

The mining industry is a crucial driver of economic development, yet it faces significant challenges due to its hazardous nature. Safety and health at work are paramount for sustainable operations within this industry. This study focuses on managers' perceptions of workplace safety factors concerning mining machinery operators and explores how technical, human, and organisational factors influence mining operators' sustainable safety efforts. A survey was conducted in mining companies to analyse management opinions regarding factors influencing occupational safety and health in mining machinery operators. The data collected was statistically processed using the software package SPSS. Statistical tests were used based on the collected data and opinions of the managers. This research's implications are reflected in the identification of key factors that contribute to the effective implementation of security measures and practices. Despite its limitations, the results offer strong empirical support for the proposed theoretical model. These findings provide valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance safety in the workplace for mining machinery operators. Through an in-depth analysis of these factors, mining company managers can identify key aspects contributing to the effective implementation of security measures and practices. Finally, a framework will be created that will enable the sustainable management of the safety activities of mining machinery operators, which will result in a reduction in the risk of injury and an improvement in the health of workers in the mining sector.

“…Additionally, this study did not take the size of these departments into consideration when providing potential future of work initiatives using SVI. Previous research has discussed the impact that organization size can have not only on the resources available to develop safety and health programs but also the efficacy in being able to effectively implement them to protect worker safety, health, and well-being, e.g., [87,88]. Therefore, future research should address the feasibility of using SVI to inform safety and health decision making at different-sized fire departments.…”

During emergencies, areas with higher social vulnerability experience an increased risk for negative health outcomes. However, research has not extrapolated this concept to understand how the workers who respond to these areas may be affected. Researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) merged approximately 160,000 emergency response calls received from three fire departments during the COVID-19 pandemic with the CDC’s publicly available Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to examine the utility of SVI as a leading indicator of occupational health and safety risks. Multiple regressions, binomial logit models, and relative weights analyses were used to answer the research questions. Researchers found that higher social vulnerability on household composition, minority/language, and housing/transportation increase the risk of first responders’ exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Higher socioeconomic, household, and minority vulnerability were significantly associated with response calls that required emergency treatment and transport in comparison to fire-related or other calls that are also managed by fire departments. These results have implications for more strategic emergency response planning during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as improving Total Worker Health® and future of work initiatives at the worker and workplace levels within the fire service industry.

“…Unsafe behaviors include specialized and generalized concepts. e specialized unsafe behaviors specifically refer to habitual behaviors with noncompliance for safety policies and procedures, which are primarily attributed to physiological aspects, cognitive aspects, safety knowledge and awareness, work habits, safety training, safety atmosphere, and other factors [13][14][15]. e generalized sense of unsafe behaviors covers all behaviors that pose hidden dangers to safe production, such as counterproductive behaviors [16], burnout behaviors [17,18], quit behavior, and ignorance behavior [19].…”

This study explores the multiple organizational relationships between frontline miners, managers, and supervisors to reveal the human organizational risks of coal mine safety and health management. Data were collected from six high-risk rock burst underground mining companies operating in western, central, north-eastern, and south-eastern regions of China. A total of 1105 respondents from the three core groups were investigated. Descriptive statistics and paired test methods were used to empirically analyze the deteriorated and dislocated relationships between multiple roles. The specific conclusions are as follows: (1) Miners’ perception of relationship quality is the lowest, and the managers’ perception of relationship quality is the highest. (2) “Closeness” relationship is expressed among peer colleagues for all multiple roles. (3) The deteriorated relation rate of miners averagely reached 19.67%, and that of supervisors averagely reached 17.63%, thereby mostly reaching 27.8% for miners with regard to supervisors. (4) The workers in high positions easily have a phenomenon of “overestimated confidence” in the perception of dislocated relationships, and the “miners-supervisors” and “supervisors-manager” dual-core contradiction have obviously been emerging. (5) The valuable, harmonious, and extent degree are relatively lowest in all relationship items.
