MHSC MANDATE • Advise the Minister on all occupational health and safety issues in the mining industry relating to legislation, research and promotion. • Review and develop legislation (regulations) for recommendation to the Minister • Promote health and safety culture in the mining industry • Oversee research in relation to health and safety in the mining industry • Liaise with other bodiesconcerned with health and safety issues • Host a biennial summit to review OHS performance in the mining industry 3

Projections & Actuals of Fatalities 2014 - 2020 Currently sitting at 69 fatalities versus the 42 we were supposed to be on route to Zero in 2020 –already missed the target by a 64% • Analysis show we would require 17%, 20% 25%, 33% 50% and 100% annually from 2014 to achieve the desired 0 in 2020 7
Projections & Actuals of Injuries 2014-2024 A 20% YoY improvement in injuries from 2014 would only get us to 280 injuries by 2014. • S/Inj (Serious Injury)* = Injury incapacitating injured from performing normal/ similar occupation for 14 days or more, or which causes the injured to suffer loss of a joint/ part of a joint / permanent disability. • Lost Time Injury (LTI) ** = An injury which incapacitates injured from performing normal or similar occupation on the next calendar day. 8
Falls of Ground Related Fatalities & Injuries 2014 - 2020 2017 marred by number of FOG related multiple fatality incidents reported - especially towards end of year FOG related injury trends performing better than fatality trends, but more work needed to hit the target line towards Zero injuries. 9
Machinery Fatalities & Injuries 2014 - 2020 The Machinery related fatality trends would even reach the target of Zero fatalities in 2019. if a 75% improvement from the 2017 stats was to be achieved in 2018 For SAMI to reach the 20% improvement on Machinery related injuries YoY, a > 40% improvement needed to get back from the 2017 figures to the 2020 target line. Clear that with the 20% improvement YoY, Zero Machinery related injuries will only be achieved beyond 2020 10
Transportation & Mining Related Fatalities & Injuries 2014 - 2020 For SAMI to reach the 20% improvement on Transport & Mining related injuries YoY, a > 40% improvement needed to get back from the 2017 figures to the 2020 target line. Clear that with the 20% improvement YoY, Zero Transportation & Mining related injuries will only be achieved beyond 2020 The Transportation & Mining related fatality trends would only reach the target of Zero in 2020 if a 75% improvement from the 2017 stats was to be achieved in 2018 11
Railbound Equipment Fatalities & Injuries 2014 - 2020 The Railbound Equipment related fatality trends would only reach the target of Zero in 2020 if a > 75% improvement from the 2017 stats was to be achieved in 2018 The Railbound Equipment injury trends also regressed and has plateaued since 2015. The trend would only reach the 20% improvement target line if >40% reduction was achieved between the 2017 and 2018 actuals. Furthermore, zero injuries would also be realised beyond 2024 if the current trends by over 40% YoY reduction . 12
Fires and Explosions Fatalities & Injuries 2014 - 2020 The Fires & Explosion fatalities were at “0” in 2014 and should have remained at that to achieve the set milestone of 0 by 2020. Trends on fatalities for Fires and Explosions appear to be erratic , occurring once in a while with serious consequences when they occur. 13
