Govt in artisanal miner safety training

THE government has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of small-scale miners in Penhalonga, Manicaland province, a necessary initiative as the rainy season, a time notorious for increased mining fatalities and accidents, approaches.

In collaboration with the Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF), the Mines and Mining Development ministry organised a safety, health and environmental awareness workshop to educate miners on best practices.

The workshop was aimed at equipping miners with knowledge on hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
