Occupational Health Milestones Elimination of Silicosis By December 2008, 95% of all exposure measurement results will be below the occupational exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica of 0.1mg/m3 (these results are individual readings and not average results). After December 2013, using present diagnostic techniques, no new cases of silicosis will occur amongst previously unexposed individuals (Previously unexposed individuals = individuals unexposed prior to 2008, i.e. equivalent to a new person entering the industry in 2008).

Occupational Health Milestones Elimination of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) After December 2008, the hearing conservation programme implemented by the industry must ensure that there is no deterioration in hearing greater that 10% amongst occupationally exposed individuals. By December 2013, the total noise emitted by all equipment installed in any workplace must not exceed a sound pressure level of 110dB(A) at any location in that workplace (includes individual pieces of equipment).

Occupational Safety Milestones Zero rate of fatalities and injuries In the Gold Sector: By 2013, achieve safety performance levels equivalent to at least current international benchmarks for underground metalliferous mines. In the Platinum, Coal and Other Sectors: By 2013, achieve constant and continuous improvement equivalent to at least current international benchmarks. To achieve international benchmarks, an annual reduction milestone of 20% was agreed to by stakeholders.

Our Journey to Zero Harm 1996: Introduction of the Mine Health and Safety Act. 1997: MHSA proclaimed by former State President Dr N.R. Mandela. 1998: Established the MHSC and MQA. 2003: Agreed Targets and Milestones on Health and Safety. 2008: Presidential Health and Safety Audit. 2008: Developed Tripartite Action Plan to achieve the milestones. 2010: Included Health and Safety in Revised Mining Charter. 2011: Approved Culture Transformation Framework. 2011: Held HIV-AIDS/TB Summit and Developed Action Plan. 2012: Ministerial Health and Safety Audit.
MHSC Initiatives: Culture Transformation Framework Launched in 2011. Prior focus was on control of workplace risks through technical aspects or the design of systems and controls however need to focus on the human behavioural aspects. 11 Pillars identified of which five were prioritised. Minimum standards developed that outlines roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders. MHSC is undertaking a process to verify progress made on the 5 pillars.
MHSC Initiatives: Centre of Excellence Approved in 2011. Task team engagements with local and international research providers. Various options considered. Ultimately a model utilised the existing strengths of national research organisations was developed and approved. Announcement will be made at the Gala dinner this evening.
Previous OHS Summit Commitments In 2011 the Principals reaffirmed the commitment to ZERO HARM from the 2008 agreements. Focus remained on three pillars: Culture of Health and Safety. Learning Industry Healthy & Safe workplaces From these three areas 38 initiatives were developed and implemented.
Previous Summit Commitments: TB & HIV/AIDS In 2011 the Principals committed to initiatives to address the issues of TB and HIV/ADS in the mining industry. 22 focus areas via 3 pillars: PREVENTION TREATMENT, CARE AND SUPPORT RESEARCH, MONITORING & SURVEILLANCE In collaboration with Depts. of Health and Labour.
Other MHSC Initiatives to address OHS Research work in the various fields of OHS remains priority to unpack solutions to challenges facing the industry. Stronger focus on implementation of this research in collaboration with MOSH and supported by the Mining Charter. MHSC is fully supportive of the Regional Tripartite Forums to encourage discussions and sharing of ways to improve OHS performance. Increased drive on promotion of research outcomes to facilitate implementation.
Challenges Occupational diseases remains significantly high. None or inadequate reporting of health statistics. Effective implementation of Integrated HIV/AIDS & TB Programmes. Women health, safety and security in the mines. Effective implementation of Culture Transformation Framework. Impact of OHS representative training. Fall of ground, general and TMM risks present a significant obstacle to achieving zero harm. Fire accidents and emergency preparedness. Timely adoption of research outcomes and leading practice (PDS and Safety nets).
CONCLUSION Even though we are falling short of the milestones, we have made significant progress on our performance and tripartite actions. Zero Harm is possible in the industry, the coal sector could reach a significant milestone of zero fatality rate by 2015. It is only through the continued collaboration and adequately responding to the changing landscape that Zero Harm can be achieved in the mining sector.
