Real Time Dust Monitoring on Continuous Miner Leading Practice
Real-time coal dust monitoring is a leading practice in reducing dust exposure in the South African mining industry.
Documented at Sasol Shondoni Colliery through the Coaltech and Latona Consulting pilot, this MOSH Dust leading practice focuses on Continuous Miners (CM) during cutting operations. It enables real-time tracking of dust levels to assess the performance of critical dust controls, including:
- Water sprays
- Scrubber fans
- Ventilation systems
- Operator behaviour
This practice supports the achievement of mining industry health milestones and strengthens proactive dust risk management.
