AI summary
The Labour Appeal Court considered whether RPM’s retained smelter and refinery operations were governed by the Mine Health and Safety Act or the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It held that the retained operations did not fall within the statutory definitions of a mine, a mining area, or works, and dismissed the appeal. The court confirmed the Labour Court’s order and made no order as to costs in the appeal.
This may be relevant to mining and processing operations where the applicable health and safety regime is in issue.
