Mining is a hazardous occupation with elevated rates of lost-time injury and disability.
The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) To identify the type of lost-time injuries in the mining workforce, regardless of the kind of mining and 2) To examine the antecedent factors to the occupational injury (lost-time injuries).
We identified and extracted primary papers related to lost-time injuries in the mining sector by conducting a systematic search of the electronic literature in the eight health and related databases.
We critically reviewed nine articles in the mining sector that examined lost-time injuries. Musculoskeletal injuries (hand, back, limbs, fractures, lacerations and muscle contusions), slips and falls were identified as types of lost-time injuries. The review identified the following antecedent factors related to lost-time injuries: the mining work environment (underground mining), being male, age, working with mining equipment, organizational size, falling objects, disease status, job training and lack of occupational safety management teams, recovery time, social supports, access to health services, pre-injury health status and susceptibility to injury.
The mining sector is a hazardous environment that increases workers' susceptibility to occupational injuries. There is a need to create and implement monitoring systems of lost-time injuries to implement prevention programs.
采矿业是一项危险职业，工伤缺勤率和致残率较高。
本研究有两个目的：1）确定采矿劳动力中工伤缺勤的类型，无论采矿类型如何；2）研究职业伤害（工伤缺勤）的先行因素。
我们通过对八个健康及相关数据库中的电子文献进行系统检索，识别并提取了与采矿业工伤缺勤相关的原始论文。
我们严格审查了采矿业中九篇研究工伤缺勤的文章。肌肉骨骼损伤（手部、背部、四肢、骨折、撕裂伤和肌肉挫伤）、滑倒和跌倒被确定为工伤缺勤的类型。该综述确定了以下与工伤缺勤相关的先行因素：采矿工作环境（地下采矿）、男性、年龄、操作采矿设备、企业规模、物体坠落、疾病状况、工作培训以及缺乏职业安全管理团队、恢复时间、社会支持、获得医疗服务的机会、伤前健康状况和易受伤性。
采矿业是一个危险环境，会增加工人遭受职业伤害的易感性。需要建立并实施工伤缺勤监测系统，以实施预防计划。
