  3. 1. Introduction • The Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) funds its research activities with levies collected from mines. • Levies are payables in terms of regulation 4(1) of the Regulations relating to the Payment of Levies by Mines on the basis of Health and Safety Risk, published under Government Notice 846 in Government Gazette 29144 of 18 August 2006 (the “Regulation”). • The Regulation should be read with section 98(1)(zJ) of the Mine Health and Safety Act,1996 (Act 29 of 1996,as amended) (The MHSA). 3

  7. 2. Current Levy Model vs 2014 Summit Milestones • During the 2014 Summit, the stakeholder in the South African Mining Industry (SAMI) set a target of zero harm. • The current levy model is based on the number of fatal and reportable injuries over a 3-year rolling period and the average labour figures for the previous year. • Not aligned to the goal of zero harm • Not risk based, but more reactive in addressing the occupational health and safety issues. • No rewards for good Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) record. 7

  8. 3. Rational for Reviewing the Levy Model • In order to continue with world-class OHS research intended to achieve Zero Harm, the current levy model needed to be reviewed. • As the industry strives toward zero harm, the number of accidents are expected to reduce to zero. • The current levy model is not sustainable • This presents a high risk of a below standard OHS research – and non-achievement of zero harm. 8

  9. 4. New Levy Model • Principles of New Levy Model • Risk Based • Past Performance – MHSI Annual Report • Commodity Risk • High Risk Commodities – Higher Levy • Production & Employment Figures • Production – Safety • Employment - Health • Fixed & Variable • Components • Fixed – OHS – 90% • Variable – OHS – 10% • Rewards • Rebate – 10% • OH + S 9

Levy Model Rebate 10% • Occupational Health - 5% • Safety – 5% • The mines will now be rewarded for good OHS practices • The Health rebate will be based on the achievement of 2014 Milestone target • The Safety rebate will be based on zero fatalities and serious injuries 11

  12. 6. Way Forward • Continuous Engagement • Stakeholder • Awareness • Workshops • All provinces • Implementation • YE 2020 12
