- W1796104028 abstract "The South African mining industry has committed itself to the Mining Charter, which requires employers to ‘implement systems focused on the continuous improvement of the industry’s health performance’ (DMR, 2010). A well-known call in the mining industry is for ‘zero harm’ to the health of the mining workforce by identifying risks and implementing prevention strategies for disease and injuries. The hearing health of the workforce and the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the focus of this article, and we contend that overexposure to noise and the development of NIHL continue to be widespread and serious health hazards that can be prevented. Excessive noise exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss and poor verbal communication, and can reduce the ability to recognize warning signals, which can lead to accidents. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most prevalent work-related diseases and injuries in the industrialized world, but it is also completely preventable. At the 2003 Mine Health and Safety Summit, the milestones for elimination of NIHL in the South African mining industry were agreed on. The first milestone, December 2008, has passed and the next one in 2013 is looming. The questions the mining industry needs to ask are: Did we reach the 2008 milestone? What should the industry do now about hearing conservation that will ensure that there is no deterioration in hearing greater than 10 per cent? How can we ensure that the industry achieves the 2013 milestone? What else should the industry aim for to achieve ‘zero harm’ to workers’ hearing? Milestone One was that, after December 2008, the hearing conservation programmes implemented by the industry must ensure that there is no deterioration in hearing greater than 10 per cent amongst occupationally exposed individuals. In order to evaluate whether the 2008 milestone was reached and what the next step should be, an understanding of ‘no deterioration in hearing greater than 10 per cent’ is necessary. The 10 per cent refers to percentage loss of hearing (PLH), which is the current metric of hearing loss in the mining industry and determines the eligibility for compensation for an occupational disease. The history of the use of PLH is that pre2001 a different method of calculating the eligibility of miners for compensation for hearing loss existed, namely Instruction 168. Under the Instruction 168 legislation only four Noise-induced hearing loss milestones: past and future" @default.
