SAMTRAC for Mining: Bridging Course

Course details

SHE management is one of the key challenges facing global mining firms in Africa and NOSA is best positioned to assist in mitigating this risk. With its global footprint NOSA is continually working towards innovative solutions to help mining companies succeed in an ever-changing business environment. Through NOSA’s extensive training we have a proven track record of reducing injuries and fatalities in the workplace.

• Training Programmes: NOSA’s training programmes provide the necessary knowledge and skills to identify and manage SHE risks within the mining industry
• Integrated Malaria Management: NOSA offers an integrated solution that helps combat and manage the disease and its consequences
• NOSA Mine Management Training and Mentoring Programme: In addition to the other mining training programmes, this unique programme provides the opportunity to grow mining professionals through structured training and ongoing mentoring
• Snake, Scorpion and Spider Risk Management: Mining companies often operate in environments where employees are exposed to snakes and other reptiles. Accordingly, it is important to ensure that staff are properly trained and equipped to deal with these risks. NOSA, in collaboration with Reptile Ventures, offers various training programmes for employees in the mining industry, including snake and reptile awareness, snake handling, and first aid and emergency procedures for snake bites

On completion of this course the learner will understand SHE legislative and operational control requirements within a mining environment.
