Minerals Council unveils new initiative to tackle mining safety

As the mining industry tracks towards its safest year in recorded history, a new CEO-led safety strategy, in partnership with government and labour, aims to sustain the gains made in improving the health and safety of mineworkers. Developed, incubated and led by the Minerals Council South Africa’s CEO Zero Harm Forum over the past eight months, Khumbul’ekhaya is a response to an alarming regression in 2017 and the first half of 2018 of the mining industry’s safety improvements.
