Occupational Health Milestones
1. Elimination of Silicosis

By December 2008, 95% all exposure measurement results will
below the occupational exposure limit for respirable crystalline of
0,1 mg/m3 .

After December 2013, using present diagnostic techniques, no new
cases of silicosis will occur among previously unexposed
individuals.
[Previously unexposed individual = Individual unexposed prior 2008
(i.e equivalent to a new person entering the industry at 2008)]

23
(Continued)
2. Elimination of Noise Induces Hearing Loss

After December 2008 the hearing conservation programmes
implemented by industry must ensure that there is no deterioration
in hearing greater than 10% amongst occupationally exposed
individuals.

By December 2013 the total noise emitted by all equipment installed
in any workplace must not exceed a sound pressure level of
110dB(A) at any location in that workplace.
