ABSTRACT
Background and Aim: Maintaining a huge elderly health, health promotion and community development is very important. Workers' health status is largely influenced by their working conditions and job. Work in mines, including those considered threats to workers' health
Materials and Methods: A number of 45 workers in each of the control and intervention groups participated in a quasi-experimental study. Demographic information and data related to HAM constructs and safety were collected through a HAM questionnaire and the safe operation checklist 3 months after the intervention. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were used to confirm properties of the tools. Educational intervention accompanied was applied in the form of four training classes. The Data were analyzed based on distribution of variables
Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographics and the study main variables. After training, however, results showed significant changes of mean scores of attitude [P<0.001], norms [P<0.001], belief [P<0.001], intention [P<0.001], knowledge [P<0.001] in the experimental group
Conclusion: The research results show that HAM educational intervention is able to change workers' awareness, attitude, norm, belief, and intention towards unsafe behavior and improve their safety performance
