Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mining is a risky job to do and hence people should be given proper awareness before being employed.

Challenges:

The various challenges faced by them are,

- exposure to coal dust

- noise

- whole body vibration

- UV exposure

- Musculoskeletal disorders

- Thermal stress, and

- Chemical hazards.

Care to be taken:

Respiratory protection is important while dealing with coal dust and proper Medical screening is required frequently.

And to deal with noise, regular maintenance of machines is necessary. WBV can be reduced by minimizing the transport of goods.

To reduce the UV exposure they must be given appropriate protective clothing.

To reduce the other three, we have to give proper knowledge to the workers.
