Meeting Mining Legislative Regulations with NASA Engineering

Monitoring Noise Attenuation of Mining Equipment
Like this post, please share it!

You will know that noise attenuation in the mining sector in South Africa is a crucial aspect of occupational health and safety. You will also know the mining industry in South Africa involves various activities such as drilling, blasting, crushing, and transportation of materials, which can generate high levels of noise. At NASA Engineering SA, we have testing facilities that ensure you meet the updated noise regulations. We also offer training support to ensure that equipment is used correctly.

The Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) sets standards for noise exposure and requires mining companies to regularly monitor and assess noise levels. Compliance with these regulations is enforced by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) through inspections and audits. NASA Engineering SA takes pride in their efforts to manufacture and supply rock drills and rock drill components which adhere to or exceed requirements in the current legislation.

Investing in OEM machinery and parts can provide long-term value due to its durability and longevity. These machines are built to withstand the harsh conditions of the industrial and mining operations and can maintain their performance over an extended period. NASA Engineering SA manufactures products that deliver a higher return on investment compared to non-OEM alternatives.

We have a state-of-the-art test booth which measures all aspects of rockdrill and airleg performance. This test facility is used to ensure you conform to noise and safety regulations. This saves you from potential legal battles with safety and financial ramifications. Opting for regular service intervals will allow for the ease in keeping up with the dynamic legislation requirements of safety and noise in the industry – without it being an extra thing on your to-do list. NASA Engineering SA can assist you in making your regulatory journey easier.
