Abstract

In recent years theoretical and empirical are focussing on occupational health hazards in industries that deal with gemstone, lime, etc. In this paper the focus is on one such industry – coal. We seek to examine the nature and magnitude of occupational diseases in coal-mining. The socio-economic and technological factors determining the incidence of occupational diseases on workers is also identified using a Tobit model. Finally, the implications of the findings of this paper for designing an optimal health care strategy have been stated. The work is based on a survey of three coal mines in the state of West Bengal, India.
