About this course
Women have worked in South African mining for decades, but the law only began to treat them as a normal part of the workforce after 1994. This course explains what the law now requires of employers, managers and supervisors, and how to turn those requirements into toilets, boots, reporting lines and careers that actually work underground and in the pit.
