OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE IN SPRINGBOK, AGGENEYS AND PORT NOLLOTH
Namakwa combines base metal mining around Aggeneys, where zinc, lead and copper are mined, with the service town of Springbok, coastal diamond and fishing activity at Port Nolloth, and planned green hydrogen and port projects on the coast.
Qualitas carries out occupational hygiene surveys for these employers: dust, silica and lead monitoring, noise surveys and heat stress surveys.

OUR SERVICES IN SPRINGBOK, AGGENEYS AND PORT NOLLOTH
- Do workers handling lead concentrate need lead monitoring?
Yes. Lead in ore and concentrate is a serious hazard. On mines it falls under the Mine Health and Safety Act; off the mine, the Lead Regulations require monitoring by a lead AIA, or a person it has verified. Qualitas is a DEL AIA for lead.
Can Qualitas work at remote Namakwa sites?
Yes. Qualitas works nationwide and quotes travel upfront, and can combine several assessments into one visit to keep costs down.
What does a new energy project need first?
A baseline risk assessment that identifies health hazards during design and construction, so controls are built in from the start.
