Trackless mobile machine safety is next big challenge, says Minerals Council South Africa

Having last year achieved the lowest fall of ground fatalities ever, South African mining’s next big safety challenge is to achieve greater safety in the use of trackless mobile machines – mobile rubber-tired vehicles that operate in underground mines without making use of rail tracks. In 2021, South African mining suffered 16 trackless mobile machine-related fatalities – and last year that worsened to 17.
