Abstract

Mining and mineral processing, as high-risk industries, are always associated with serious safety issues related to working with sharp materials and heavy machinery, as well as dangerous environmental factors. Slips, falls, and touching contaminated fluids are common threats to workers, and it is more likely that they will be infected or injured (Doyle, 2023). More than 60 pathogens are associated with accidents related to blood and other body fluids, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), etc. (Debelu et al., 2023). In spite of safety measures, the rate of workplace injuries is still elevated, which demonstrates a grave mismatch between the safety policy and practice. The awareness of these risks makes it clear why some innovative interventions are required that could help to supplement the traditional ones.
