1.1. Criteria for Evaluating Approved Inspection Authority
(AIA) Applications
To advise occupational hygienists at platinum refineries on the
criteria for evaluating AIA applications by the Department of
Employment and Labour, it is important to note the legal
framework set out under the Occupational Health and Safety
Act 85 of 1993 (OHSA) and other applicable regulations, such
as the Hazardous Chemical Substances (HCS) Regulations.
The Department of Employment and Labour evaluates AIAs
based on the following key criteria:

, 1. Competence and Expertise:
o The AIA must have appropriately qualified personnel

with expertise in occupational hygiene.
o Key personnel must include certified occupational

hygienists who have extensive experience in
conducting investigations in the field of occupational
health and safety.
2. Specialised Knowledge:
o The AIA should demonstrate specialised knowledge in

the specific industry (e.g., platinum refining) and have
experience dealing with industry-specific hazards like
dust, heavy metals, and chemical exposure.
o The authority must show familiarity with relevant

occupational exposure limits (OELs) and other legal
standards applicable to the industry.
3. Accreditation:
o The AIA must be accredited by a recognized body,

such as the South African National Accreditation
System (SANAS), in the relevant fields of
occupational hygiene and testing.
4. Compliance with Legal Requirements:
o The AIA must demonstrate compliance with all

regulatory standards, including providing proof of
adherence to the OHSA and specific regulations (e.g.,
HCS Regulations).
o It must also have a record of lawful conduct and no

history of violations of occupational health and safety
laws.
5. Technical Equipment and Facilities:
o The AIA must possess state-of-the-art equipment for

monitoring and testing workplace hazards, such as air
