MINE HEALTH AND SAFETY INSPECTORATE Annual Report 2009/2010 2 August 2011

Presentation Outline 1. Background 2. Health and Safety Performance. 3. OHS Improvement Strategy. 4. Mine Safety Achievements.

Background • Commodity prices breaking records with gold price exceeding $1 600 /oz and speculators predicting $2 000/oz platinum price in near future. • Public sector infrastructure spending worth R 808. 6 bn over MTEF. • Mining growth further expected in the North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape Provinces. • Diminishing gold ore reserves resulting in deepening of shafts and mining of shaft and remnant pillars. • Poor legacy of health management resulting in social and economic impact with suffering mine employees and companies facing potential multimillion rand claims.

MHSI 2009/10 Performance

2009/10 Achievements/ Successes Improved stakeholder relationships • Quarterly meetings in all regions with Unions. • Quarterly meetings with Do. L, Do. H and DPP. Address Health and Safety Risks: • Completed Inquiries & Investigations as planned. • Audits (83%) & Inspections (91%). Development of Guidelines • Reviewed existing Guidelines. (e. g. Underwater Mining; Emergency Preparedness; and Drawpoints, Tipping Points & Orepasses). Review and develop internal policies and procedures Exams Policy, Medical Appeal Procedure; Inclusion or Non-Inclusion of Fatal accidents in Statistics. Human Resource Development • 99 Officials completed a course on Risk Management in Mining. • 97 Officials completed Health & Safety Training (Legal, Inspection, Audit, Investigation and inquiries).

Challenges • Accidents in the mines “one life lost is one too many”. • Elimination of recurring accidents. • Fall of ground and TMM risk presents a significant obstacle to achievement of zero harm. • High rate of occupational illness and diseases. • TB, HIV and AIDS impact on society and industry. • Accuracy of Occupational Hygiene Measurement results. • Growing mining sector versus skills base. • Entrenching sustainable compliance culture in mining sector. • Failure to adopt leading practice.

OHS Improvement Strategies

Restructuring of MHSI to enhance enforcement capacity • Splitting of the North West regional office into two independent offices. PI will be appointed in Rustenburg; • Establishment of regional compliance and investigation units; • Appointment of legal advisors at the regional offices to assist with investigations and inquiries; • Chief Directorate: Occupational Health has been established and is operational; • 19 Learner Inspectors appointed at our regional offices; • 18 Bursary Students doing engineering courses; • Training Initiatives with WITS, MQA and IRCA.

Promotion and Enforcement • Enhance co-operation with tripartite stakeholders through the MHSC and MQA; • Mine Health and Safety Summit to be held during the financial year; • Arrange regional quarterly tripartite forum meetings to share health and safety information; • Engaging unions on health and safety matters; • Requesting quarterly reports from the mining company boards and engaging CEOs; • Review of the Mine Health and Safety Act and Regulations to strengthen enforcement and set minimum standards; • SIMRAC/CGS project on integration of seismic networks has commenced. • Stoppage of unsafe mines in line with our legislation maintained (441 issued and 726 transgressions addressed).

Areas addressed in Section 54 Instructions

Occupational Health • Promote the review and implementation of effective mine health programmes to prevent significant exposure to health hazards; • Employ the services of a NIOH/CSIR to assist MHSI with verification of mine sampling results; • Collaboration with the Do. H and other stakeholders to ensure a sustainable improvement on ill-health including HIV and TB; • HIV/TB Summit will be held in this financial year; • Reviewed Mining Charter now includes health and safety issues and require companies to improve housing and living conditions of mine employees.
