University Students’ Preferences for Labour Conditions at a Mining Site: Evidence from Two Australian Universities

“…Mining companies therefore need to consider not only the safety at the mining site but also the working environment of drilling and blasting if they want to more employ workers for such tasks. Moreover, the results of the conditional logit model indicate that students prefer not to live near the site, despite unfavorable effects on the mental health and lifestyle of the worker and the family associated with fly-in fly-out have been reported in Australia [24][25][26][27]. This result implies a possibility that psychological and physical risk by labour conditions might not be well understood or recognized by students.…”

Health and well-being of rotation workers in the mining, offshore oil and gas, and construction industry: a systematic review

“…18 Two studies with a comparison group compared fathers with onshore rotation jobs with other fathers in cross-sectional surveys, but the difference was not statistically significant. 66 67 Two other studies with comparison group compared rotation workers with onshore non-rotation workers and found depressive symptoms to be statistically significantly lower in rotation workers in one study (marginal mean scores 15.5; 95% CI=14.3 to 16.6 vs 19.7; 95% CI=17.0 to 22.4, p=0.01) 42 but no differences in the other study. 50 Anxiety Studies regarding anxiety among rotation workers also showed mixed findings.…”

“…64 Seven studies examined the levels of depressive symptoms among rotation workers using symptoms checklist. 18 42 50 58 65-67 Using the cut-offs belonging to the scales used, the sample means suggested that, on average, rotation workers had minimal depressive symptoms in four studies (one offshore, three onshore) 58 [65][66][67] and moderate in one study. 18 Two studies with a comparison group compared fathers with onshore rotation jobs with other fathers in cross-sectional surveys, but the difference was not statistically significant.…”

“…50 58 66 67 69-73 Of these studies, seven reported low level of anxiety symptoms: one study described their samples as having low levels of anxiety symptoms based on their sample means being below some threshold on the scale used 58 and remaining studies also reported sample means below any threshold for normal/mild anxiety. 66 67 69 71-73 No study recruited a general population comparison group, only comparing the mean scores with secondary data sources and reported comparable scores among onshore rotation workers in one study 58 but higher scores among offshore rotation workers in another study. 70 Four studies with comparison groups compared rotation jobs with non-rotation workers in cross-sectional surveys: one study found offshore rotation had higher level of anxiety symptoms than onshore non-rotation petroleum workers (3.62±3.42 vs 2.43±2.18, p<0.01), 69 but no statistically significant differences were reported in three studies.…”

Mental Regulators of Shift Employees in Diamond Mining in The Far North

“…Studies by many authors have found that fly-in-fly-out workers in extractive industries may experience many problems: increased psycho-emotional stress (Khasnulin & Khasnulina, 2012), problems of psychological adaptation (Korneeva & Simonova, 2019), family relationships (Cooke et al, 2018), suicide risk (Vojnovic, 2016). The researchers also focused on studying the impact of fly-in-flyout method on health: problems of mortality (Hermansson et al, 2019), nutrition (Assis et al, 2003); sleep (Niu et al, 2017;Sachdeva & Goldstein, 2020) the relations between the locus of control and morbidity (Smith et al, 2001).…”
