'Sick miners: time for miners to share the burden', 2 Jul 2015: Between 1,500 and 2,000 miners a year still apply for compensation for silicosis and TB contracted on the gold mines - yet the mining industry is doing very little to share the burden…Professor Rodney Ehrlich of the…University of Cape Town…warned, lack of data makes it almost impossible to assess progress…And not all mining companies comply with the requirement to publish the number of silicosis cases diagnosed at mine hospitals…Ehrlich recommended…that the administration costs of the Medical Bureau for Occupational Diseases…should be financed through the statutory levies that mines must pay to the compensation fund, instead of by the taxpayer…[G]overnment…would not hesitate to use the law to temporarily remove miners from workplaces where the [dust] limit was exceeded, Msiza said, and to fine the mines concerned...There was…a suggestion…that occupational health of miners should be built into CEOs’ performance evaluations…[refers to Anglo American]
