To the Editor: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the workplace is receiving increasing attention, probably because of findings that better functioning, general health and wellbeing and lower levels of pain are associated with higher productivity, dependability and creativity, overall higher work quality and lower absenteeism. 1-2 However, no research has been conducted on HRQOL in the South African mining industry. In order to rectify this omission, a study was conducted with 275 male miners, performing surface and underground duties at one platinum mine, to ascertain their functioning, general health, wellbeing and level of pain. Ages ranged between 20 and 61 years (mean 40.3 years, standard deviation (SD) 9.6 years). Education ranged between none and 12 years (mean 7.4 years, SD 3.5 years). Age was negatively related (p 0.05). These findings suggested that underground duties are physically, but not mentally, more demanding than surface work.
