Plans to combat falls of ground (FOG) in underground mines were under intense focus at an event hosted by the Minerals Council South Africa and its members on 31 March 2022 to share their learnings to eliminate the risks from these incidents which are a historically leading source of mining industry fatalities. The number of FOG fatalities has fallen to an average 24 a year in the 2016-2020 five-year period from an average of 111 a year in 2001-2005, a 78% improvement. The key interventions were...
