Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>This after industry group the Minerals Council SA announced that 2023 saw a setback in mine safety, following an improved safety record in the previous year.<\/p>\n

Mining safety is expected to take centre stage on Tuesday as the Mining Indaba entersits second day in Cape Town on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This after industry group, the Minerals Council SA, announced that 2023 saw a setback in mine safety, following an improved safety record in the previous year.The meeting of mining giants, policymakers and government leaders kicked off on Monday with a range of issues on the table.<\/p>\n

Provisional statistics from the Department of Mineral Resources have tallied the total fatalities at mines in 2023 at 54, against 45 in 2022.<\/p>\n

The platinum and gold sectors had the highest numbers, with rockfall and conveyance accidents among the leading causes.<\/p>\n

The best performance on safety in the history of the industry was recorded in 2022.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s mining indaba comes at a time when a number of incidents have again sparked concerns about occupational safety.<\/p>\n

This includes the death of 13 miners at Implats in the North West two months ago after a cage plummeted 200 metres down to the bottom of the mine shaft.<\/p>\n

Industry group, the Minerals Council, said this was a stark reminder that there should never be a lapse in vigilance where mine safety was concerned.<\/p>\n
