from relevant professional bodies.
2. Technical Expertise and Experience:
o The AIA should have personnel with the necessary qualifications, experience,
and skills to conduct specialized investigations, including assessing health
risks in the platinum refining industry.
o Adequate experience in occupational hygiene practices, particularly in high-
risk industries like mining and metallurgy, is essential.
3. Specialized Equipment and Resources:
o The AIA must have access to specialized equipment and tools for measuring
and monitoring hazardous substances, noise levels, and other
