About this course
Most South African mines rely on contractors for drilling, haulage, shaft work, engineering, plant hire and maintenance. When contractor employees get hurt, the investigation nearly always finds a gap between the mine and the contractor. This module sets out the course, the five-stage contractor life cycle used throughout, and how the course labels its legal sources.
