This report is a review of the foreign literature concerning human factors issues in the mining industry.

Summaries were written for publications that describe the results of empirical investigations of factors affecting miner safety or productivity. The references have been sorted by topic into six major categories: accident-safety, individual miner, health-medicine, technical-engineering, environment, and ergonomics. Some of the major issues include the effects of environmental stress on health and productivity, accident prevention measures, protective clothing and equipment, the miner-machine relationship, training programs, and psychological principles applied to mine problems.
