Relationship Between Remuneration, Employee Morale, Stress and the Subsequent Impact on Safety, Productivity and Profitability.
Study of pay and bonus structures on South African coal mines across management, staff and operator grades, for human resources practitioners and mine managers reviewing incentive schemes.
by Dr. M Molapo, Ms. N Molefe & Dr. H. Makhuluma | December 2006
Builds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress. The work examines how salaries, production bonuses and safety bonuses are graded and distributed across employee categories, how workers perceive that distribution, and whether incentives in practice motivate production and safe working. Stress and morale are treated as measures of wellbeing.

The Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from South African Surface and Abandoned Coal Mines
2012
Direct sampling across burning, burnt out and rehabilitated dumps at surface mines covering just over half of national surface production, scaled to a national emissions estimate.
What this report foundGas sampling on coal mine dumps found rehabilitation very effective at cutting emissions.
R1500,00
Gas sampling on coal mine dumps found rehabilitation very effective at cutting emissions. Even incomplete rehabilitation held carbon dioxide below about 1 kg per square metre a year, against over 100 on unrehabilitated ground and as much as 7 000 where combustion was active, though burning areas were small. Sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and methane were low.
Detection of Old Workings, Sinkholes, Underground Fires and Acid Mine Pollution Using Geophysics and Airborne Thermal Infrared Imagery

Micro-gravity, electrical resistivity and time domain electromagnetics located the boundary between old workings and virgin ground, but no ground technique tested could resolve individual bords and pillars at the depths typical of the Witbank and Highveld coalfields. Airborne thermal infrared surveys worked well as a low cost regional reconnaissance tool for shallow sinkholes, fires and possible pollution plumes.
The Relationship Between Geological Structures and Dolerite Intrusions in the Witbank Highveld Coalfield, South Africa
2008
Structural study of dolerite dykes and sills at four collieries south of the Ogies Dyke, linking intrusion geometry to mining conditions and coal quality. For mine geologists.
What this report foundDolerite intrusion mechanisms and their metamorphic effect on coal were examined across four collieries in the south eastern Witbank Coalfield.
R1500,00
Dolerite intrusion mechanisms and their metamorphic effect on coal were examined across four collieries in the south eastern Witbank Coalfield. In decreasing order of importance, intrusions cut safety by raising the risk of roof, pillar and floor failure, raise mining costs, reduce saleable tonnage, and increase waste generation and environmental risk.
