Working conditions Back to Top ?

Miners may work indoors or outdoors, often in enclosed environments. If they work outdoors, they are more likely to be exposed to outside weather. If they work indoors, they work in an enclosed environment. Indoor locations may not be temperature-controlled, so they may be exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures.
