A statistical analysis of common occupational diseases among South African miners from 2000 to 2003
A statistical analysis of South African mine workers is being done on the SAMODD database (a database of South African mine workers employed by the various mines in different parts of South Africa is owned by the Department of Minerals and Energy). I am analyzing the database at the request of the Department of Minerals and Energy in an attempt to estimate prevalence proportions, incidence rate ratios, odds ratios, life tables and hazard ratios. Results of the study would be helpful for the DME to address concerns related to occupational safety and hazards.
