OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE IN KRUGERSDORP AND RANDFONTEIN
The West Rand grew on gold. Mines, tailings retreatment plants and the engineering works of Chamdor, Factoria and Randfontein still make up much of the economy of Mogale City and Rand West City.
Qualitas carries out occupational hygiene surveys for these employers: silica and dust monitoring, noise surveys, welding fume and chemical monitoring, heat stress surveys and LEV tests.

OUR SERVICES IN KRUGERSDORP AND RANDFONTEIN
- Do gold tailings retreatment plants need silica monitoring?
Usually, yes. Witwatersrand ore and tailings are rich in quartz, so reclaiming, pumping and processing them can release respirable crystalline silica, especially where material dries out.
Is cyanide a hazardous chemical agent?
Yes. Hydrogen cyanide gas can be released wherever cyanide solutions are mixed or acidified. The chemical risk assessment must cover reagent handling, leach tanks and emergencies, and monitoring may be needed.
Our workshop services the mines. Which law applies?
Your own workshop falls under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and you are responsible for assessing noise, welding fume and other exposures there. Work on the mine itself falls under the Mine Health and Safety Act.
