So, why are mine operators providing miners with respiratory protection devices to protect against COVID-19? The simple answer is that, right now, the occupational hazard to miners — potential exposure to COVID-19 — cannot be eliminated. Engineering and administrative controls will only go so far. That leaves PPE. PPE does work.
