Abstract

Abstract: Lung diseases and other mining-sector health risks pose major challenges for Mongolia.Coal mines, both formal and informal, contribute significantly to economic growth, but the prevalence of occupational lung diseases is high and access to health care is limited. The strategy for preventing occupational disease and injury in the coal mining industry employs several elements. Standards are set and enforced; technical assistance, research, and development are provided; and surveillance is conducted. The Mine Safety and Health Act provided for a wide array of basic public health measures to prevent occupational disease and injury in the mining industry. In recent years, however, productivity has increased, while risk of fatal injury have increased. The article considered problems with the issues related to labour safety and health of coal sector in mining industry.
