Reimagining Training in Mining

The Minerals Council South Africa and Harmony Gold, in partnership with RIIS, have launched a call for proposals for an innovation showcase of Ed-Tech solutions that are changing the future of South Africa.

We are looking for training innovations that will enable miners to operate more safely, healthily and productively, assisting in the journey towards zero harm production.

Read more about how to get involved here.

The Minerals Council South Africa and mining unions have agreed that information and responsible communication is an important element in encouraging mining employees and communities to learn more about vaccines and to get vaccinated when they have the opportunity to do so. Together, #WeChooseVacciNation. A series of posters are available in four languages, and may be freely used by anyone who wishes to do so.
