MSU students launch mining safety campaign
BY STEPHEN CHADENGA
THE faculty of Engineering and Geosciences at the Midlands State University (MSU) has launched a mining safety campaign, whose primary objective is to ensure zero harm at the workplace, particularly amongst artisanal and small-scale miners.
The MSU in a statement yesterday said that the project will run under the theme Safety Begins with Education.
“The campaign was born out of the realisation that there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of deaths and serious injuries in the artisanal and small-scale mining sector in recent times,” read the MSU statement.
