5. Capacity of the Occupational Health and Safety System • • • • • • • • •

More Engineering Expertise Required MOL’s technical capability has declined significantly mechanical engineering mining engineering ground control (i.e. geotechnical) engineering electrical engineering structural engineering civil engineering metallurgical engineering

6. Internal Responsibility System (IRS)

IRS Triangle: The triangle is split into 6 horizontal layers from worker (bottom) to director (top). Authority and Responsibility flow down, and Accountability flows up
