In terms of the major commodities, the gold, platinum and coal sectors have registered a reduction in fatality rates of 20 per cent, 18 per cent and 33 per cent respectively, during the period under review. However, it was of concern that the diamond sector had an increase in fatality rates of about 45 per cent. Whilst reportable injury rates in gold (18 per cent), coal (13 per cent), iron ore (10 per cent) and other mines (36 per cent), rates dropped substantially, it was also of concern that other commodities registered continued to increase in this regard.
