Mine Health and Safety Act, 1996 (Act No. 29 of 1996)NoticesGuideline for the Compilation of a Mandatory Code of Practice for the Management of Working in Confined Spaces at MinesPart C : Format and Content of the COP7. Risk Management |
| 7.1. | Section 11 of the MHSA requires the employer to identify hazards, assess the health and safety risks to which employees may be exposed while they are at work, record the significant hazards identified and risks assessed. The COP must address how the significant risks identified in the risk assessment process must be dealt with, having regard to the requirements of sections 11(2) and (3) that, as far as reasonably practicable, attempts should first be made to eliminate the risk, thereafter to control the risk at source, thereafter to minimise the risk and thereafter, insofar as the risk remains, to provide personal protective equipment and to institute a program to monitor the risk. |
