- The buck stops here - are mining CEOs doing enough to protect themselves from prosecution0.64 MB
In South Africa, mining deaths consistently exceed 160 per annum, prompting the authorities to intensify accident prevention initiatives and call employers to account. The emphasis is on more rigorous enforcement of the Mine Health and Safety Act and an aggressive drive to prosecute employers for health and safety lapses.
Werksmans' Mining Health and Safety practice has many years of experience in advising mining companies on compliance with the Mine Health and Safety Act and regulations. This experience ranges from assisting mining houses to be proactive in raising their health and safety standards to representing clients at accident inquiries and investigation proceedings.
