  • South Africa publishes proposed mine safety rules for COVID-19

    2020-05-13 14:10:23   [Print]
    South Africa published new proposed safety guidelines on Tuesday for mines operating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    South Africa, the world's largest producer of platinum and chrome ore and a major miner of gold, diamonds and coal, is gradually restarting the operations of its biggest export industry, shut down in a nationwide lockdown.

    In April, the authorities relaxed regulations to allow mines to operate at 50% capacity. But labor unions have since won a court case against the government, forcing it to impose stricter safety guidelines.

    The new mandatory regulations proposed by the Mines Ministry would require companies to keep workers further apart, supply them with protective equipment, disinfect their transportation and accommodation, screen and test them for illness, identify those with pre-existing conditions and provide flu vaccinations.

    The guidelines will be open for public comment until May 14 before they enter force.
