Discussion Topics
• Background
• The Mining & Minerals Industry
• OHS Performance
• Activities and Programme performance
• Topical Issues
Background• The MHSI
– A branch of the DME– Established in terms of the MHSA– Responsible for regulating OHS in the
mining industry
• MHSI Responsibilities:– Monitoring of compliance to OHS
requirements– Enforcement of OHS requirements at mines
Background (cont.)
– Conduct investigations and inquiries into mining accidents
– Develop policies that promote OHS
• The MHSA requires CIOM to prepare an Annual Report on:– The state of health & safety at mines– Activities of the Inspectorate
Minerals Sector Profile
– The “bed rock” of SA’s industrialisation– Contribution to GDP
– Direct 7% – Indirect 15%
– Significant contributor to employment: 500 000 employees
– Major global producer of Gold, PGM, Manganese, Coal, Diamond, etc
Minerals Sector Profile (cont.)
– Operations:• High Risk-Large, deep, labour intensive
Gold & Platinum u/g mines• Medium Risk-Mechanised Base Metal and
Coal Mines• Low Risk-Surface mines

OHS Performance
• Occupational Health– Data collection and analysis a concern– Control at source a major challenge– Best practice / benchmark info starting
to emerge– More visible commitment to
addressing health is essential
Occupational Health (Cont.)
• Performance– Gold Miners:15-20% silicosis at autopsy– Coal Miners:7-10% pneumoconiosis– 14% of all respirable crystalline silica
samples submitted do not comply with OEL’s– HIV and silicosis have a multiplicative effect
on health– 89% of Mineworkers exposed to noise levels
above 85dB– 240 cases of TB per 1000 autopsies v/s 40
cases 25 years ago.
Programme Performance
• Service Delivery Indicators– Fatality frequency rates are 16% down v/s
the 20% target set.– Investigations and inquiries-finalisation within
set time frame the main problem• Inquiries-39% v/s 80%• Investigations-71% v/s 80%
– Transformation is still a challenge due to job-reservation legacy
• Whites- 44% v/s 28%• Females-27% v/s 45%
Topical Issues
• Staff Turn Over– Competition with private sector for
required skills– Retirement
• Increasing SMME participation– Resource base stretched by
increasing number of new entrants.– Limited skills capacity of SMME
increases risk potential.
Topical Issues (cont.)
• MHSI Restructuring
• Integration– Bill– Framework– Business case– Challenges
• Illegal/Criminal mining
• TB Control Programmes
