Silica dust and occupational lung disease remain a defining health burden across African gold, platinum and coal operations. This programme equips mine health teams to build a practical prevention strategy covering dust exposure sampling, engineering controls, worker education and long term surveillance. Delegates work through Southern African case material linking exposure records to disease outcomes and compensation claims.
