Job Description

Zero harm needs people who go into the workings. This mineral processing plant near Mogwase needs you. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Mogwase; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Help run emergency drills and check refuge bays
  • Train safety representatives and support the health and safety committee
  • Take dust, noise and heat measurements with the occupational hygiene team
  • Track safety statistics like LTIFR and report them each month
  • Check that crews do planned task observations and pre-shift checks
  • Prepare for inspections by the mine inspector and follow up on instructions
  • Lead incident investigations using a root cause method

You'll need

  • Confident writing investigation reports and presenting findings
  • Detailed knowledge of the MHSA and its regulations
  • SAMTRAC or an MQA-accredited mine safety qualification
  • Registered with SAIOSH, or working toward it

Helpful, not essential

  • ISO 45001 auditing experience
  • Diploma or degree in Safety Management or Environmental Health

On offer

  • CPD and further study funded
  • Retirement fund and medical aid
  • Standby allowance for incident call-outs
