Training Push--South Africa plans high-tech mine safety training for 40 000

摘要

South Africa last year delivered its best mine safety improvement in seven years, according to the Chamber of Mines. The 24% reduction in fatalities in 2010 to 128 is the best since 2003, the Chamber told a media conference. Forty fewer died last year than the 168 of 2009, it reported. "We're very sad about the 128 mineworkers who lost their lives in 2010, and we're confident that the number is going to be lower in 2011," new Chamber CEO Bheki Sibiya predicted, after observing a moment's silence for the deceased and reiterating the Chamber's vision of every mineworker returning home unharmed every day.
