About this course
A mine runs on appointments. The Mine Health and Safety Act 29 of 1996 (MHSA) places duties on the employer, but those duties are carried out by a manager, by people the employer or manager appoints, and by supervisors on every shift. When an appointment is vague, missing or given to someone who is not competent, the duty is not carried out and people get hurt. This course shows you how to get appointments right.
