The programme is composed of two sub-programmes, namely, Mine Health and Safety (Regions) and Governance Policy and Oversight. Mine Health and Safety (Regions) is responsible for conducting audits, inspections, investigations, enquiries and examination services, as well as enforcing the Mine Health and Safety Act and its provisions and providing professional advice. The Governance Policy and Oversight sub-programme develops policy and legislation to guide enforcement, provide technical support to regional offices, chair tripartite structures and facilitate HIV and AIDS work in the sector.
