included in the South African Mines and Safety Act (29/1996). There is a directive C2 to all mining operations requiring maximum deceleration values of 2.4 to 2.7 m/s2 for mine winders and 2.7 to 2.9 m/s2 for rock winders. This is, however, not enforced. Mine shafts are already equipped with a number of safety
But, in the case of higher lifting velocity, (e.g. in the case of fast passenger elevator, mine shaft winding system, harbour crane, etc.) the numerous influences upon the dynamic behaviour of the lifting mechanism are also to be taken into account, such as: • rope length variation during load lifting and lowering,
The objective of these guidelines is to assist South African small mines to implement effective workplace health and safety management to comply with the requirement under Section 2 of the amended MHSA which states that, mine owners should ensure safety at the mines. The guidelines will, in the first instance, help SSM owners, managers and ...
