“…We observed that the light-engineering maintenance personnel at times work with insuffi cient illumination, which is also a risk-factor of WMSDs. 41 They use torch lights or draw power from the vehicle engine while working in dark or night-time. This provision is insuffi cient while they work with circuits which are situated deeper in huge equipment.…”

“…Finally, the operators stated that improved lighting on and around their equipment may help with improving safety during ingress and egress. In the recent decade, lighting has been a major focus of mine safety research as a means to prevent STF and struck-by accidents (Sammarco et al, 2012;Yenchek and Sammarco, 2010). However, much of this research has been focused on improving lighting for underground mines and replacing standard incandescent lighting with light-emitting diodes to improve the amount of light, improve visual performance, reduce glare, reduce power consumption, and reduce required maintenance (Sammarco et al, 2009).…”

“…Compared with other wireless signals [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], visible light has the advantages of green safety [ 13 , 14 ], less multi-path effect [ 15 ], no electromagnetic effect [ 16 , 17 , 18 ] and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The crucial thing is that the lighting equipment already present in the mine brings great convenience to our equipment deployment [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Nowadays, there are many innovative research papers and excellent results that apply visible light technologies, including visible light communications (VLC) technology and visible light positioning (VLP) technology to the underground mine environment, benefiting from the above-mentioned advantages of visible light.…”
