The aim of this chapter is to provide a systematic approach to the identification of hazards, evaluation of risks and prioritization of actions required in order to reduce potential risks of occupational accidents to tolerable levels. The Mine Health and Safety Act, 1996 (Act No.29 of 1996) makes it mandatory for employers to ensure that they have identified hazards that can result in accidents, performed risk assessment which enables them to put controls in place to eliminate, minimize or control the risks.
