Section 4: Vitals Preferences

In this section, we are asking you to tell us how you feel about your vital signs (for instance, your heart rate) being monitored while you work. Many people believe that having access to a person’s vital signs could help save lives. Heart Rate can be used to detect stress and fatigue on a daily basis and be used to help triage and monitor miners in an emergency situation. If vital signs were monitored on mine rescue workers, it could also help avoid sudden heart attack due to stress or overexertion. The next set of questions is related to your opinions about heart rate monitoring in the mining industry.

  1. Do you think monitoring heart rate on a daily basis would be useful?



    1. Yes b. No



Why or why not?
