The Mine Health and Safety Act 29 of 1996 is a key piece of South African legislation that promotes the health and safety of employees and other persons at mines. This Act sets out the responsibilities of mine owners, employers, and employees to maintain a safe and healthy working environment, and it empowers the Department of Mineral Resources to monitor and enforce compliance.
The 15th Edition reflects the latest amendments and regulations, providing updated guidance on risk management, health surveillance, training, and reporting of incidents. It plays a critical role in ensuring that mining operations are conducted responsibly and that the well-being of workers remains a top priority.
