1.1 Criteria for Evaluating Approved Inspection Authority
(AIA) Applications by the Department of Employment and
Labour (15)
When evaluating applications for Approved Inspection
Authority (AIA) status, the Department of Employment and
Labour (DEL) in South Africa follows strict criteria to ensure
that the applicant meets the necessary qualifications, technical
capability, and compliance with legal and operational standards.
For the occupational hygienists of platinum refineries, the
following criteria should be considered:
, 1. Technical Competence:
o The AIA must demonstrate that its personnel have the
relevant technical expertise and qualifications in
occupational hygiene and the specific fields related to
platinum refining, such as exposure to hazardous
substances (e.g., platinum group metals, chemicals
used in refining).
o Employees should hold recognised qualifications in
occupational hygiene and related fields, such as
environmental health, chemistry, or engineering.
2. Accreditation:
o The AIA must be accredited by a recognized body,
such as the South African National Accreditation
System (SANAS), which evaluates whether the
organisation meets the international standards for
conducting inspections (e.g., ISO/IEC 17020).
o The scope of the accreditation should cover
occupational hygiene assessments, air quality
monitoring, and other specific needs for platinum
refineries.
3. Resources and Equipment:
o The AIA must have access to specialised equipment
and facilities necessary to conduct accurate and
reliable occupational hygiene measurements. This
includes monitoring devices for airborne
contaminants, noise, and ventilation systems used in
platinum refineries.
o Calibration and maintenance of the equipment must be
in accordance with relevant technical standards.
4. Compliance with Legislation:
