This exploratory study examines the impact of fly-in fly-out (FIFO) and the difficulties facing male workers. The results are based on data gathered through a semi-structured interview guide from 22 men working in the FIFO mining sector. The participants’ comments show that certain factors stemming from family and couple dynamics influence workers’ perception of their work/family balance. This study shows that FIFO workers are confronted with realities that, when they ask for help, require the worker to have specific knowledge of this lifestyle.
