Reliable gas detection is the backbone of a safe underground atmosphere, yet many incidents trace back to poorly calibrated or misused instruments. This programme builds practical competence in selecting, calibrating and interpreting fixed and portable gas monitors across African underground operations. Delegates practise response protocols for methane, carbon monoxide and oxygen deficient conditions.

A section 54 instruction stops production and the mine must show that its legal appointments were valid, current and understood.
Heat, dust and flammable gas behave differently at three kilometres below surface than they do in a textbook.
Falls of ground remain one of the largest causes of death in South African underground mining.
