SAFETY
There will be 3 Category of awards.
The level of management appointment for the breakdown of data of mines participating in any of the Safety Awards is a MHSA appointment 3.1(a) or a 4.1 appointee.
The following are the mine/commodity groupings for the safety awards:
· Gold Mines
· Platinum Mines
· Coal Mines
· Diamond Mines
· Base Metal Mines
· Process Plants/Smelters/Laboratories/Water Treatment Plants
· Contractors
The type of safety awards:
Category 1:
· Year on Year “Total Injury Frequency Rate (TIFR) Improvement”.
o Statistics reporting period 1 July-30June for the last 3 years.
o The progressive TIFR number on the closing date for the 12 months is used.
o Require: The total Hours worked in the year per month for the last 3 years. Total injuries in the year
per month for the last 3 years.
o Year 1=1 July 2013 - 30June 2014.
o Year 2=1 July 2014 - 30June 2015.
o Year 3=1 July 2015 - 30June 2016.
Category 2:
· “Best in Class TIFR” (1st,2nd and 3rd place). The lowest progressive TIFR for the reporting period,
1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.
· The same format of data as for Category 1. But in this case the TIFR include all injuries that was
reported, including dressing cases/first aid cases. Thus the grand total of all injuries. International
company’s report TIFR on the ICMM rule and exclude Dressing cases/first aid cases in their TIFR, but
for this award dressing cases/first aid cases must be included. Thus to ensure we compare like with
like, it is any injury reported by any person, make no difference how small.
Category 3:
A category called “Significant Safety Achievements”. In this category we look at the mine’s situation on the closing date 30 June 2016:
· Progressive fatality free shifts on the closing day- 30 June 2016.
· If a fatality occurred in the period 1 July 2015-30 June 2016, the progressive Fatality free shifts
on the day of the last fatality must be submitted.
· For mines that are not having fatal accidents, “Progressive Injury Free Days”- on 30 June 2016:
o The injury free days are calendar days. Thus in a year the maximum injury free days can be 365 days.
o Year 1=1 July 2013 - 30June 2014.
o Year 2=1 July 2014 - 30June 2015.
o Year 3=1 July 2015 - 30June 2016.
