Workwear is urgently needed in mining that is applied to ensure the basic safety and performance of miners. However, the protective and ergonomic functions of workwear are limited. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a new design of mining workwear. According to the literature review and survey research, the problems of current workwear were identified. Afterwards, the design specification was determined based on the modular design concept, including basic modules of typical styles and colors, functional modules, load-carrying modules and visibility straps. Appropriate materials were also selected to make the prototype. The results show that the new workwear was able to provide adequate thermal protection and decent ergonomic performance. Design of a reflective strap significantly improved the conspicuousness of the clothing. The mining workwear designed in this study has achieved good protection and wearing comfort. The modular design method has been proved effective in functional clothing design.
