One of the topical issues related to ensuring the labor of workers regarding mining industry is the digitalization of personnel, in particular, the chipping of employees. Microchips are advantageous in improving the safety of workers, more rapid response to emergencies and the process of recording working hours. AIM: to determine the possibility and expediency of chipping workers in the mining industry to find people in a timely manner.The study is based on a system-structural approach, in which the analysis of technological processes in the mining industry is carried out to identify places where increased control over workers is required, as well as the technical characteristics of equipment used in production, determining possible risks for workers and the possibility of using chipping to improve safety. Moreover, private scientific methods were used in the research, like comparative analysis to compare the experience of using chipping or similar technology to improve safety, study best practices and identify possible risks and problems. SWOT analysis used to study the advantages and disadvantages of chipping workers regarding mining industry. The systems of searching for people using radio tags in a mine lamp fixed on a helmet are considered, as well as a project being developed in Kazakhstan based on the use of artificial intelligence when searching for people in mines and providing a safe working environment for miners. However, all of them have certain disadvantages; therefore, the question of the possibility of chipping workers in the mining industry to find people in a timely manner is increasingly raised.The potential advantages of using the technology of chipping workers regarding mining industry are highlighted. Decisions on the implementation of technology require consideration of ethical and legal issues, the participation of stakeholders and consultation with experts in security and human rights.
