One of the factors  identified  is the quality and quantity of food, as well  as  meals  times.  In  this  context,  the  present  systematic  review  aimed  to  identify  how  food  intake influences the occurrence of accidents in shift work, with some focus, although not exclusive, on the mining industry.  Methodology:  The  research-based  literature  was  carried  out  in  four  electronic databases: Medline\/PubMed,  Science  Direct,  Scopus  and  Web  of  Science.  Have  been  combined  the  following  words \u201coccupational  accident\u201d  and  \u201cfood  intake\u201d;  \u201cmining  injury\u201d  and  \u201cfood  choice\u201d;  \u201cmeal  timing\u201d  and \u201cworkplace\u201d; \u201ceating at night\u201d and \u201cmining injury\u201d;\u201cCircadian rhythm\u201d and \u201cdiet shift\u201d; \u201cFood safety\u201d and \u201c Health risk\u201d; \u201cworkplace accidents\u201d and \u201cfood choice\u201d.  Results: It was possible to identify 24 articles related to  food  intake.  To  better  understand  the  analysis,  the  results  were  organized  into  five  groups:  Author surname  and  year,  Study  type,  Accidents\/injury  causes,  risk  factor,  Conditions  for  accidents\/injuries  to occur. Through the groups of causes, it was possible to regrouped on three, which facilitated the discussion of  the  topic;  food  choice  n=10  (42%)  articles,  eating  habits  n=9  (37.5%),  and  emotional  commitment  n=5 (20.5%),  showed  the  relativity  of  food  intake  causes  for  the  occurrence  of  accidents  and  illnesses  in  shift workers. Discussion: The reviewed articles demonstrated that the materialisation of accidents was due to the  relationship  between  food  intake  and  consumption  of  nutrient-poor  foods  in  shift  work.  That  can develop chronic diseases, metabolic disorders such as blood pressure abnormalities, blood sugar fluctuation (dyslipidemia,  dysglycemia),  and  obesity,  neurobehavioural  performance.  Foods  contain  high  content  As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Fe, and Mn above the recommended standards by the FAO\/WHO. Sleep disturbance during the 12-hour shift interferes with circadian rhythm and, consequently,with performance. These factors can be related  to  food  and  the  precarious  physical  environment,  increased  workload,  fatigue  and  poor  diet, especially at night. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study demonstrated how food intake impacted workers' health on shifts but did not determine the causes or risk factors contributing to accidents\/injuries. Further studies  are  needed  to  demonstrate  a  direct  relationship  which  the  risk  factor  of  food  intake  and  causes accidents\/injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.24840\/978-972-752-279-8_0065-0072","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T16:31:34Z","timestamp":1630427494000},"page":"65-72","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The occurrence of accidents and injury in mining shift worker influenced by food intake, a short review"],"prefix":"10.24840","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9882-8735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gentil A.","family":"Andaque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9477-8638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ol\u00edvia","family":"Pinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8524-5503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
