Overview
This short course provides Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practitioners with a structured introduction to the mining environment as a foundation for effective OHS practice. Participants gain insight into mine design and planning, the mineral value chain, surface and underground mining operations, and mineral processing and beneficiation. The course also explores modernisation in mining, emerging technologies, and their implications for health and safety, alongside environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations and regulatory requirements. Through applied reflection and assignments, participants strengthen their ability to identify risks, understand mining processes, and align OHS practice with industry standards and legislation. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.

“MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!Pumza MokgehleMAP Part-time
