Mining is one of the industries with the highest risk accidentability; being unsafe behaviors one of the main causes of accidents. In this study, the factors that influence the decisions that lead to unsafe behavior of mining workers were evaluated. With a correlational study, the level of workers' unsafe state was measuredand work stress and work demand were analyzed as individual factors by applying validated questionnaires, with a sample of 107 collaborators, and the influence between the unsafe state, the individual factors and their dimensions (work stress and work demand) was determined. It was obtained as a result that the insecure state of the workers is of mediumlevel with 70.09% and that there is a positive and significant correlation with work stress and work demand, which allowed corroborating the general hypothesis, the insecure state is positively and significantly correlated with the individual factors.
