How do miners get into a mine?
Work schedules in the mining industry can vary widely. Some sites operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, particularly in oil and gas extraction and underground mines. This creates the opportunity for some mining workers to work long shifts several days in a row, and then have several days off.The remote location of some sites, such as offshore oil rigs, requires some workers to actually live onsite for weeks at a time, often working 12-hour shifts, followed by an extended leave period onshore. The average work week for a production worker in mining was 45.3 hours.
