DATE FIRST ISSUED: 1 JANUARY 2002

EFFECTIVE DATE: 1 JULY 2002

The Occupational Hygiene sub-committee was mandated by the Mine Health and Safety Council to
develop an Occupational Hygiene Database to record exposures to significant occupational hazards
in the South African Mining Industry. Furthermore, Regulation 9.2(2) of the occupational hygiene
regulations in conjunction with section 12 of the Mine Health and Safety Act requires the employer
to establish, maintain, and record the system of occupational measurements.

In the mining industry we have a large workforce, which is exposed to many different contaminated
environments. These take the form of airborne pollutants such as dusts (silica quartz, coal dust,
etc.), fibers and other harmful chemical substances, as well as physical agents such as noise,
thermal stress, and radiation

Employees exposed to these environmental conditions may develop occupational related illnesses,
which lead to either long or short term suffering or death. Compensation claims are increasing, and
loss of production may also be incurred.

The correlation between hazardous exposures and occupational related diseases is not fully
documented or understood. This leads to ineffective preventive maintenance.

The DME believes that there must be a centralised system through which the correlation between
hazardous exposures and occupational related diseases are recorded, tracked and managed, and
hence the requirement for this occupational hygiene database.

Additional motivating factors for the establishment of the occupational hygiene database:
• Lack of information on the prevalence of hazardous exposures and occupational diseases in
the mining industry.
• The inability to research the correlation between hazardous exposures and occupational
diseases, thus corrective action is focused on the symptom rather than the cause.
• Assessment of the magnitude of the problem, so that corrective action can be prioritised and
planned.

• To obtain up to date information on the prevailing situation in the South African Mining
Industry with regards to the compliance to regulated occupational exposure limits.

• Identify high risk occupations

The following objectives were identified in the establishment of the hygiene database:
• Provide the DME and the South African mining industry with a computerized tool, which
would highlight and identify significant hazards that can be managed. These tools will
include, but will not be restricted to:

• Obtain management information on Homogenous Exposure Groups (HEG’s), based on the

results of measured personal exposures in the mining industry.

• A linkage to other departmental systems such as the South African Mines Reportable
Accidents Statistics System (SAMRASS ), South African Mines Occupational Diseases
Database (SAMODD) etc. including the use of a common set of commodity, working place
and occupation codes

• The monitoring of health and compensation i.e. integration of SAMODD and hygiene
database.
1
 • Record the extent and the geographical position of hazards over time within certain areas of
a mine and nationally.

• Provide exception reporting (outside OEL’s)

• Ensure statistical validity and quality control of sampling data

• Remote problem identification

• Instantaneous information available

• Assists to focus inspectors on problem areas

• Monitor hazards and progress of remedial action

• Provide on line analytical processing

• Provide Head Office with a tool to audit regional inspectors

• Facilitate the generation of annual/quarterly reports

• The provision of a database for epidemiological research

• Provide added value to mining industry

a number, starting with the number 1 for the lowest concentration result up to the highest
concentration being given the number equal to the total number of samples collected in that
HEG. Multiply the total number of samples collected by 0.9. The sample result with the
number corresponding to this calculated value is the 90th percentile.

Instructions for the completion of personal exposure reports
The sequential methodology of establishing Homogeneous Exposure Groups (HEGs) is imperative
if the statistics produced from these reports are to be meaningful. The statistical summary should
result in a profile of HEGs and contribute to summaries, which highlight trends within the industry
and focus specific research, risk assessment, safety management, and training activities.

Regulation 9.2(2) prescribes the hazard limits when an occupational hygiene measurement
system must be established.

System of Occupational Hygiene Measurements

9.2(2) The employer must establish and maintain a system of occupational hygiene measurements,
as contemplated in section 12, of all working places where the following hazard limits
prevail:
(a) airborne pollutants: - particulates > 1/10 of the occupational exposure limit;
- gases and vapours > ½ of the occupational exposure limit;
(b) thermal stress: - heat >25,0°C wet bulb and/or >32,0°C dry bulb and/or
>32,0°C mean radiant temperature;
- cold <10°C equivalent chill temperature; and
(c) noise: - >82dBLAeq,8h.

Report to Regional Principal Inspector

9.2(7) The employer must annually submit to the regional principal inspector of mines, on forms
21.9(2)(a); 21.9(2)(b); 21.9(2)(c) and 21.9(2)(d), respectively, prescribed in chapter 21, and
within 30 days from the end of the relevant annual reporting period as indicated on each

2. MANDATORY PERSONAL EXPOSURE – REPORT 2

2.1 Occupational Health Programme on Personal Exposure to Airborne

Pollutants
2.1.1 Codes required for the completion of this report are:
• DME commodity code (see PART B Generic Codes Section 1)

• Main commodity code (see PART B Generic Codes Section 2)

• Activity area code (see PART B Generic Codes Section 3)

• Occupation in HEG (see PART B Generic Codes Section 5)

• Pollutant Code (see PART B Generic Codes Section 6)

2.1.2 The sequential methodology used for the determination of HEG

classification bands is as follows:

Step 1
Sub-divide the mine into Sampling Areas. (i.e. Surface = Sampling Area 1, Underground
Section A = Sampling Area 2, Underground Section B = Sampling Area 3, Underground
Section C = Sampling Area 4,… etc). It should be remembered that in terms of the
definition of “Sampling Areas” a sampling area might consist of a combination of
ventilation districts.

Step 2
Sub-divide the Sampling Areas into Activity Areas as per the Activity Area Code List found
under Part B – Generic Codes - Section 3.

Step 3
Ensure that adequate measurements of personal exposures to identified significant airborne
pollutants for each Activity Area are available. If professional judgement concluded that
insufficient historical personal exposure data is available regarding the extent of the risk, a
personal monitoring survey must be under taken for each significant airborne pollutant.
Acceptable methodologies such as stipulated by NIOSH should be used for this assessment.
Once the concentration and composition of the airborne pollutants identified in the Activity
Area are determined then proceed to step 4.

Step 4
Compare the results of the significant pollutants present, either from historical data or from
measured data during the personal monitoring survey, in that particular Activity Area to
their respective OEL values.
These OEL values are contained in Schedule 22.9(2)(a)of the MHSA. The codes for the
Pollutant and Activity Areas are contained in Part B – Generic Codes – Section 5 and 3 of
this guideline.

8
If samples have been taken in previous years, the results may provide valuable information,
especially if the process has not changed significantly. If change have occurred, the
monitoring data will provide some basis for estimating potential exposures of employees in
HEG’s based on professional judgements. Plotting past data over time to determine whether
the exposure trends are higher or lower may be helpful. If the exposure trends exist, the
occupational hygienist may use only the most recent exposure data in the initial assessment.
If substantial data is available, some statistical analysis may be appropriate.
If use of the above two resources are unable to clearly determine HEG’s then an acceptable
international methodology such as NIOSH Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategy
Manual or the British Standard BS EN 689:1996 must be utilised.

(Repeat step 4 for every significant pollutant)

Step 5 (This step is for where single pollutants have been identified in an Activity Area
which act independently)
Single Pollutant – where no additive effects are known or considered likely, the
constituents can be regarded as acting ‘independently’. It is then sufficient to ensure
compliance with each of the individual OEL’s.

Once the personal exposures within each Activity Area have been compared to their
respective OEL values, each Activity Area can now be categorised into classification bands
to determine the various homogeneous exposure group/s within that Activity Area. The
classification bands for airborne pollutants are depicted in the classification band table
below.

If an employee is exposed to a number of significant pollutants, which have an additive

effect, then Step 6 must be followed.
Note: if more than one significant pollutant, acting independently, has been identified in an
Activity Area, then those employees exposed to these pollutant would then be
allocated to more than one HEG.
(Repeat step 5 for every such significant pollutant)

Step 6 (This step is only when significant pollutants that have an additive effect have been
identified in an activity Area)
The OEL’s for pollutants listed in Schedule 22.9(2)(a) of the MHSA are for single
compounds or for pollutants containing a common entity. Workers are however frequently
subjected to mixed exposures. It is therefore necessary to take into account the possible
additive or synergistic effects of these pollutants. Due to the present difficulty in assessing if
the effects of a mixture of significant pollutants are either additive or synergistic, the
requirements of this COP will be to treat all such cases as if they are additive.
With all types of mixed exposures it is essential that the classification band category
assessment should be based on the concentrations of each of the constituents ‘in air’ to
which workers are exposed.

Where effects are additive their combined effects must be used when classifying the
Activity Area into their respective HEG’s, the following formula must be used to assess the
combined effect.
C1/ L1 + C2/L2 + C3/L3….for compliance the combined effect should be < 1
where C1, C2 etc are the concentrations of constituents in air and L1, L2 etc are the
corresponding OEL’s.

Please note that an Activity Area e.g. stoping is not a HEG, this Activity Area i.e. stoping,
must be subdivided into the classification bands as shown above. These classification bands
are the HEGs within that particular Activity Area.

10
2.1.4 Mandatory Frequency of Sampling
The mandatory sampling frequency is dependent on the category rating. The following table
depicts the relevant frequency per category classification:

Pollutants (Excluding Toxic Gases & Vapours)

CATEGORY MINIMUM FREQUENCY

A Sample 5% of employees within a HEG on a 3monthly basis with a

minimum of 5 samples per HEG, whichever is the greater.

B Sample 5 % of employees within a HEG on a 6 Monthly basis with a

minimum of 5 samples per HEG, whichever is the greater
C Sample 5 % of employees within a HEG on an annual basis with a
minimum of 5 samples per HEG, whichever is the greater

Toxic Gases & Vapours

CATEGORY MINIMUM FREQUENCY

A Sample 5% of employees within a HEG on a 3monthly basis with a

minimum of 5 samples per HEG, whichever is the greater.

B Sample 5 % of employees within a HEG on an annual basis with a

minimum of 5 samples per HEG, whichever is the greater

Not withstanding the above table the mine must take further intermediate samples in order
to increase the confidence that HEGs are appropriately categorised especially where results
are widely divergent.

Steps Example
1 Note the average flow rate and sample time
Obtain the calibrated pump flow rate 2,2 Litres per minute
Determine the total sample time 8 Hours 20 minutes
Convert total sample time to minutes ∴Minutes = (8 x 60) + 20
= 500 minutes
2 Determine the sample volume
Results must be expressed in mg/m3
Volume = Flow Rate (l/min) x time (minutes)
∴ Volume of air through the sample pump = Flow
= 2.2 x 500
rate x time
= 1100 litres of air
Convert litres to m3 = 1100 ÷ 1000
(1000 litres of air = 1 m3) = 1.1 m3 sucked through pump

7 Determine the TWA dust concentration as applicable
Multiply the concentration with a time correction TWA = concentration x (total sample time in minutes

concentration levels in excess of 10% of the OEL.

The accepted principle whereby the combined effect of two or more hazardous substances should
be considered also applies to gases, which act chronically on the respiratory system.

A sampling strategy will be developed depending on the instruments and/or procedures adopted for
the measurement of the concentrations of these gases

2.2 Occupational Health Programme on Thermal Stress

2.2.1 Codes required for the completion of this report are:

• Main commodity code (see Section B Generic Codes)

• Activity area code (see Section B Generic Codes)

• Occupation in HEG (see Section B Generic Codes)

2.2.2 Categorisation of the Thermal Environment for Heat Stress

[Link] The sequential methodology used for Categorisation of the Thermal Environment (Heat
Stress) is as follows:

Step 1
Sub-divide the mine into Measurement Areas. (i.e. Surface = Measurement Area 1,
Underground Section A = Measurement Area 2, Underground Section B = Measurement
Area 3, Underground Section C = Measurement Area 4,… etc). These Measurement Areas
must be based on areas of control for management purposes, e.g. Mine Overseers section.

Step 2
Sub-divide the Measurement Areas into Activity Areas as per the Activity Area Code List
found under Part B – Generic Codes - Section 3

Step 3
Evaluate the risk assessment undertaken in the COP for an Occupational Health Programme
on Thermal Stress Section [Link] “Risk Assessment and Control” and undertake a base-line
survey for the following parameters inter-alia of the environmental thermal load, as listed
below.
• Wetbulb temperature in oC
• Drybulb temperature in oC
• Radiant heat (Globe temperature) in oC

Step 4
(a) Subject the above data to an elementary but appropriate statistical analysis in
order to categorise each defined activity area with a degree of confidence
commensurate with the risk.
Note: Using mean values for the purpose of categorisation may underestimate
the risk if a significant number of exposed employees have to enter environments
close to or at the upper end of the range of recordings.

(b) The above data set constitutes the base-line survey and the mine should retain
such records for ongoing monitoring, audits and comparison.

(c) The categorisation of each defined activity area should be based on the most
significant parameter(s) of the environmental heat load. This may vary
considerably from one operation to the next, or between surface and underground
mines and works. Mines should therefore clearly state which parameters are to
16
 be used and also provide a brief explanation (motivation) for the particular
approach. For example, in many underground gold mines wet-bulb temperature
is by far the most relevant parameter because of the small dry-bulb / wet-bulb
difference and the generally low air velocities.

(d) The categorisation system is outlined below.

Category Temperature range Interpretation General action

A: WB> 32,5 °C or DB > 37,0 °C or Unacceptable Work may be undertaken only on a
Abnormally Globe temperature > 37,0 °C risk of heat basis of expert risk assessment,
hot disorders supervision and protocols.

B 29.0 >WB< 32,5 °C and DB < 37,0 °C Potentially HSM mandatory

See Note: (3) heat disorders
C 27,5 >WB< 29,0 °C and DB < 37,0 °C Potentially HSM mandatory

See Note: (3) heat disorders
D WB <27,5 °C and DB <32,5 °C Risk of heat No special precautions
Globe temperature: as for DB disorders Environmental monitoring must be
See Note (4) negligible sufficiently sensitive to detect
critical upward drifts in the
environmental heat load. The
monitoring programme to satisfy
this requirement should be specified

Note : (1) Temperatures above 32,5 °C wet-bulb or 37 °C dry-bulb

Employees should not be exposed to this category as a matter of routine unless on the basis of expert
risk assessment, supervision and protocols.
The HEG concept, as applicable to other categories, does not strictly apply. However, where selected
employees, including brigadesmen,undertake such work, systems should be in place to ensure that
adequate recovery is ensured and that exposures are linked to the medical surveillance record.
Because of the acute consequences of heat exposure, such areas must be clearly designated as ‘No
entry ‘or ‘No go ‘ areas. The code of practice must make reference to the mine standard(s) relevant
to these contingencies.

(2) Although certain indices conveniently use globe temperature as an alternative to dry-bulb,
especially where GT – DB > 2°C , care should be exercised when high dry-bulb temperatures are
recorded in combination with high solar heat loads because of a possible summation of heat loads.

(3) In order to create a more sensitive data base for both environmental management and the
monitoring of health and safety statistics, the subdivisions B and C should be used for record
purposes. Mines are nevertheless at liberty to also use any other procedure to enhance the sensitivity
of data. HSM practices remain identical for B and C.

(4) The need for close monitoring of even ‘cool ‘ environments is that ‘no special
precautions’, i.e. in terms of a formal HSM programme, are required. In view of the acute
consequences of critical escalations in the environmental heat load, ongoing monitoring is of
fundamental importance.

Step 5 (optional)
Depending on specific circumstances, needs or operations, mines may opt to implement heat
stress management in terms of a heat stress index. This means that recorded data (Step 3 )
are translated into a single figure representing that index. Generally, this figure falls within
a certain category and associated action. This option is acceptable in principle provided that
the index enjoys recognition and / or based on past precedent. However, for the purposes of
mandatory reports to the DME this does not preclude Step 4 above.

17
[Link] Heat Stress Monitoring
It is imperative that correct, meaningful results, which are representative of all full working
shifts for that thermal environment, are being obtained when monitoring is done within the
working place. The category of the thermal environment in which persons are working
must be allocated to all employees within that thermal measurement area.
If measurement for any of the stresses above have been taken in previous years, the results
may provide valuable information, especially if the process has not changed significantly.
Plotting past data over time to determine whether the exposure trends are higher or lower
may be helpful. If the exposure trends exist, the occupational hygienist may use only the
most recent exposure data in the initial assessment. If substantial data is available, some
statistical analysis may be appropriate.

[Link] Formal Monitoring Period

Thermal monitoring must be conducted for the warmest quarter, as determined during the
risk assessment (Generally for Heat Stress: Quarter - January to March).

2.2.3 Categorisation of the Thermal Environment for Cold Stress
[Link] The sequential methodology used for Categorisation of the Thermal Environment (Cold
Stress) is as follows:

Step 1
Sub-divide the mine into Measurement Areas. (i.e. Surface = Measurement Area 1,
Underground Section A = Measurement Area 2, Underground Section B = Measurement
Area 3, … etc). These Measurement Areas must be based on areas of control for
management purposes, e.g. Mine Overseers section.

Step 2
Sub-divide the Measurement Areas into Activity Areas as per the Activity Area Code List
found under Part B – Generic Codes - Section 3

Step 3
Evaluate the risk assessment undertaken in the COP for an Occupational Health Programme
on Thermal Stress Section [Link] “Risk Assessment and Control” and undertake a base-line
survey for the following parameters inter-alia of the environmental thermal load, as listed
below.
• Drybulb temperature in oC
• Velocity m/s
• Equivalent chill temperature in oC

Step 4
1. Subject the above data to an elementary but appropriate statistical analysis in order to
categorise each defined activity area with a degree of confidence commensurate with the
risk.
Note: Using mean values for the purpose of categorisation may underestimate the risk if
a significant number of exposed employees have to enter environments close to or at the
upper end of the range of recordings.

2. The above data set constitutes the base-line survey and the mine should retain such
records for ongoing monitoring, audits and comparison.

3. The categorisation system is outlined below.

Cold Stress
Category Temperature range1 Interpretation General action
A ≤ -30° C Severe risk Stop work;
‘Abnormally cold’ (frost bite) evacuate
B ≤ 5° C but not Potential risk Implement formal CSM2
‘Severe cold’ ≤ -30° C
C >5° C Negligible risk No special precautions;
‘Cold’ monitor equivalent chill
temperature3

Temperature ranges are given in terms of equivalent chill temperature (ACGIH)

CSM: Cold Stress Management
3
For categorisation purposes, thermal environments in excess of 10° C dry-bulb do not have to be reported

[Link] Formal Monitoring Period

Thermal monitoring must be conducted for the coldest quarter, as determined during the risk
assessment.(Generally for Cold Stress: Quarter – June to August).

Main commodity code (see Section B Generic Codes)

Activity area code (see Section B Generic Codes)

Occupation in HEG (see Section B Generic Codes)

2.3.2 The sequential methodology used for the determination of HEG classification
bands is as follows:

DETERMINATION OF HOMOGENEOUS EXPOSURE GROUPS

The Code of Practice requires you to identify homogeneous exposure groups (HEGs). The
sequential methodology used for the determination of homogeneous exposure groups is as
follows:

Step 1
Sub-divide the mine into Measurement Areas. (i.e. Surface = Measurement Area 1, Underground
Section A = Measurement Area 2, Underground Section B = Measurement Area 3, Underground
Section C = Measurement Area 4,… etc). These Measurement Areas must be based on areas of
control for management purposes, e.g. Mine Overseers section.

Step 2
Sub-divide the Measurement Areas into Activity Areas as per the Activity Area Code List found
under Part B – Generic Codes - Section 3

Step 3
Evaluate the risk assessment undertaken in the COP for an Occupational Health Programme on
Hearing Conservation Section 8.1.1 “Risk Assessment and Control” and undertake a baseline
personal noise monitoring survey in each Activity Area as per the Activity Area Code List.

Determine the noise exposure levels in the Activity Area.

Step 4
Compare the results of the significant noise levels measured during the baseline personal noise
monitoring survey, in that particular Activity Area to the OEL values.
If samples have been taken in previous years, the results may provide valuable information,
especially if the process has not changed significantly. Past surveys also provide useful base-line
data. If changes have occurred, the monitoring data will provide some basis for estimating
potential exposures of employees in HEGs based on professional judgements. Plotting past data
over time to determine whether or not the exposure trends are higher or lower may be helpful. If
the exposure trends exist, the occupational hygienist may use only the most recent exposure data
in the initial assessment. If substantial data is available, some statistical analysis may be
appropriate.
If use of the above two resources are unable to clearly determine HEGs then an acceptable
international methodology such as NIOSH Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategy Manual or
the British Standard BS EN 689:1996 must be utilised.

22
 Step 5
Once the personal noise exposure levels within each Activity Area have been compared to their
respective OEL values, each Activity Area can now be categorised into classification bands to
determine the various homogeneous noise exposure group/s within that Activity Area. The
classification bands for noise exposures are depicted in the classification band table below.
