Working in a mine is considered being one of the most riskful professions in the world with a high amount of deadly accidents annually. Technology that locates the exact position of the personnel, so called positioning technique, can therefore constitute as an important safety measure. However, the technique may also result in invasion of privacy which can affect the acceptance of the technique. The purpose with this study is to investigate miners’ acceptance of positioning technique, what factors contribute to acceptance, as well as possible age differences. The method being used is a quantitative questionnaire survey responded by 71 Polish miners. The result of the study shows that the more an individual experience that positioning technique would facilitate his/her work, and the less the individual experience the technique as invasive of his/her privacy the more willing he/she is to accept the technology. The results also show that there are no significant age differences regarding acceptance of positioning technique.
