Philippines are blessed with mineral deposits and thus, mining sector is one of the important industries

in the archipelago. Mining still remains an important sector specially the small-scale mining in many
parts of the country and even though huge problem has been addressed in the control of occupational
health hazards, there remains place for further risk deduction. In every workplace, hazards are very
common especially in sectors like small scale-mining where informal arrangement exist. Even though
there is insufficient data in reported injuries, accidents, or casualties, it is of agreeable accountability
that the safety and working condition like this sector are addressed given the risk that they are exposed
to.

Lots of Filipinos engaged in artisanal gold mines around the archipelago and mostly they are
provided with no benefits at all except the money that they earned during mining. Usual problems
associated in small-scale mining are lack of sanitation, basic health care and also the injuries caused by
equipment accidents, fires, explosion, rock fall, fly rocks, falls, entrapment and electrocutions. The
continuous elevation rate of injuries globally is cause with lack of education and drill, regulations and
implementations, and functional infrastructures and apparatus. All the hazards present in mining activity
can be eliminate with high tolerance of safety and health management to control the risk that may
occur in the workplace with the aid of giving sensible measures.

Hazard identification and risk analysis is to identify and analyze hazards, the event sequences leading to
hazards and the hazardous events. Many techniques suchlike risk assessment, and risk management
methods are available to help identify, analyze and manage the hazards. [1]

Hazard identification and risk analysis is very essential to the owner which will help them for
planning and invoke as needed through the mine workplace to alleviate the unfavorable impacts on
achieving objectives. It is also used to create priorities so that the most hazardous condition is prioritize
first and those slightly to happen and least likely to create primarily trouble can be account later. [3]
