Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) employs 14-19 million people globally. There is limited research on accidents, injuries, safety in Zimbabwe's ASGM. This study investigates the prevalence of accidents as well associated risks existing practices. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among artisanal miners. Data from 401 participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics regression analysis. The injuries 35.0% 25.7%. Accidents with experiencing included mine collapses...
In 2017 around 14-19 million miners were exposed to multiple hazards in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM). ASGM is characterized by basic compromised methods with either very limited control of or none at all. There little knowledge about health safety among Zimbabwe.This study explores the interaction between hazards, measures, Zimbabwe's ASGM.Triangulation mixed applied using standardized questionnaires, Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA), focus group discussions...
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is often associated with no or compromised attention to health safety. Although headlines of fatal accidents in Zimbabwe characterise ASGM, little paid prevention strategies. This study, therefore, explores safety risk mitigation ASGM inform A qualitative design was used focus group discussions in-depth interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, coding, descriptive statistics. Reported factors contributing included immediate causes,...
Abstract Background The role of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) as a source income is rapidly gaining importance in the economically difficult times Zimbabwe. Besides limited epidemiological data, no data about self-reported health-related quality life (HRQoL) miners exist. aim project was to access HRQoL ASGM workers improve base compare urban Zimbabwean population. Methods Data from 83 Kadoma, Zimbabwe analysed. assessed using EuroQol dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual...
Abstract Background Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) accounts for more than 50% of national production, contributing to sustainable livelihood economic development in Zimbabwe. However, ASGM Zimbabwe involves semi-mechanisation high-risk underground processes with compromised workplace practices. Methods Triangulation method mixing were applied through cross-sectional survey; risk assessment; in-depth interviews, focus group discussions. The Kadoma Shurugwi towns purposefully...
Background: Small-scale miners are responsible for over 50 % of the Zimbabwean gold production. However, sector is characterised by high labour-intensity, low productivity and capital outdated technologies. Sustainable health interventions necessary.Objective: The objective project was empirical identification miners' needs corresponding effective, sustainable, successful future interventions.Methods: In a two-week field study in Kadoma, Zimbabwe, late 2017 assessment done to determine...
Climate change shapes human migration through the interaction of environmental changes with political, social, economic, and demographic drivers mobility. Low-and middle-income countries bear brunt health impacts climate migration, despite their overall low contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
