Dehydration and fatigue are significant risks within the mining industry, both having considerable impacts on health and safety parameters within the workplace. Despite their similarities, education initiatives often address these risk factors separately.
By tackling these risk factors simultaneously, the individual gains a greater appreciation for a holistic approach to maintaining their health, while the company sees a reduction in lost time to injury and improved productivity.
Fatigue is characterized by a chronic decline in physical and cognitive function. Typically, fatigue presents as a change in personality, motivation, memory, and concentration; as well as physical impairment, such as reduced immune function, poor coordination and reflexes, muscle weakness and pain. Sleep hygiene is often cited as the primary mechanism for improving an individual’s fatigue levels, often underestimating the potential positive impact lifestyle choices can have on an individual’s fatigue level. Maintaining adequate hydration is an integral component of this holistic fatigue prevention strategy.
Similar to fatigue, dehydration is also characterized by reductions in mental performance, mood, cognition and physical work rates. Impairment can be observed with as little as 1% dehydration by body weight (equivalent to 600 – 800mL); often before the thirst mechanism has a chance to kick in. At 2% dehydration, studies report a 6-7% reduction in physical work rates, with this decline climbing as high as 50% at 3-4% dehydration.

It’s exceeded our expectations. High quality, we don’t need any counter weights and it’s easy to set up. It’s been in operation for 6 months now with no hassles, we’ve got quite a substantial pump driving water to the standpipe and we haven’t any issues. Overall quality & reliability supplied by Liquimech has been very impressive.
Feedback from site is that the standpipe is working well. Thanks for arranging fast delivery!
I’ve been dealing with Liquimech for some time now and can’t speak highly enough of what they do. With top-notch service and products, great lead times, and very competitive pricing, they really cover all the bases. I couldn’t recommend Liquimech highly enough for anyone that wants all three sides of good, fast, and cheap.
