Article Abstract
Introduction: In addition to hazardous conditions that are prevalent in mines, there are various physical and psychosocial risk factors that can affect mine workers' safety and health. Without due diligence to mine safety, these risk factors can affect workers' safety experience, in terms of near misses, disabling injuries and accidents experienced or witnessed by workers.
Method: This study sets out to examine the effects of physical and psychosocial risk factors on workers' safety experience in a sample of Ghanaian miners. 307 participants from five mining companies responded to a cross sectional survey examining physical and psychosocial hazards and their implications for employees' safety experience.
Results: Zero-inflated Poisson regression models indicated that mining conditions, equipment, ambient conditions, support and security, and work demands and control are significant predictors of near misses, disabling injuries, and accidents experienced or witnessed by workers. The type of mine had important implications for workers' safety experience.

My beloved husband, Robert Steel, died at 58 from MAPT FTD, a disease that stretches back through his family's generations. Before we married he told me his father died of early-onset Alzheimers and he was terrified he would inherit that disease. In his early 50s he began exhihibiting symptoms that I attributed to stress-his work as a respected high school teacher began to slip, he began to lose the ability to have a visual map in his head, he began to repeat stories, his behavior became more compulsive, forgot how he was related to a favorite cousin.
