What this report found

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.

What this report found

Three modes of intervention were found in coal company procurement: preferential procurement rules, segmentation of goods and services by suitability for transformation, and support programmes for small suppliers. Progress stalled where supplier development was handled by staff carrying other duties, since work not tied to production loses time and has no target. The remedy proposed is procurement targets linked down through commercial and production management.
