 Other legislation

Before the promulgation of the Mine Health and Safety Act in 1996, the safety of the South African mine workers was provided for in the Mines and Works Act, 1911 and 1956. The Mines and Works Act, 1956 was repealed by the Minerals Act, 1991. This act focused predominantly on mine safety with little or no emphasis on the occupational health status of the mine workers. 

The Minerals Act was then repealed by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002. The Mine Health and Safety Act was promulgated in 1996 following the outcomes of the Leon Commission of Inquiry. The Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate under the Chief Inspector of Mines administers this act and it is the primary legislation governing the health and safety of South African mine workers and communities affected by mining activities.
