24.10.2019· Anecdotal evidence suggest that small-scale mining poses more occupational hazards than what may be found in more regulated or large scale mining operations . This study sought to estimate the incidence of injuries among small-scale gold miners in Ghana and to assess their risk perception and risk factors associated with injury. The study found a very low level of workplace safety
Historically, the damage caused by ASM was limited due to the small-scale nature of activities and the reliance on hand tools. With the hike in gold prices in 2005–2007, a rush to Ghana by foreigner investors mainly Chinese with more advanced and heavy equipment escalated the issue. The techniques and scale of the new ASM activities has led to large portions of land being degraded beyond productive
Some of the products used in small scale mining are health hazards. Many small scale miners in Ghana use mercury while mining. This mercury ends up in the water sources and the result is health complications and in some cases death. It is an environmental hazard. Small scale mining projects are in most cases not controlled. They end up causing deforestation

The mining practice is generally referred to as ‘artisanal and small-scale’ (ASM), which, despite varying definitions globally, broadly describes mining by individuals, groups, families or cooperatives with minimal or no mechanisation, often in the market’s informal sectors. In Ghana, ASM encompasses any plot measuring up to 25 acres.

The small-scale gold mining sector provides employment for a large proportion of otherwise unemployed individuals in Ghana. Thus, small-scale gold mining is of tremendous economic importance in Ghana, and many other developing countries, especially in places where alternative livelihoods are limited, though a number of public health hazards exist in the sector that pose
Abstract. A preliminary assessment of toxic element pollution caused by artisanal and small-scale gold mining in the Bonsa river of Ghana as well as the influence of TOC and SO 4 2− concentration on these traces in the sediment has been determined. With the exception of mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), and arsenic (As), the concentration of aluminum (Al) in filtered river water exceeded the WHO

A number of ergonomic health hazards affect the workers involved in the small scale mining. Many people in Southern Africa are working in the informal mining sector without any guarantee of occupational health and safety. Actual work places in deep level mines present unique challenges to ergonomic interventions. Due to the nature of the ore deposits, narrow gold-bearing reefs, geological
Small-scale mining can be extremely environmentally damaging and often has serious health and safety consequences for workers and surrounding communities. This is generally due to poor practices in mining and processing target minerals. Governments in many countries regard ASM as an illegal activity. The consequent lack of an adequate regulatory and policy framework can prevent formalization
