Economic/Societal benefits:

NQF LEVEL I QUAL CLASS Level 2 / Regular-Unit Stds

Seen on a national level, safe and productive mines operate at optimal level; with maximum orebody extraction, the lowest possible safety risk and best operating cost. This has spin-off benefits in terms of the sustained production of minerals, with increased generation of revenue for the economy, greater investment in South African mines by particularly overseas investors and sustainable employment opportunities within the mining industry for society in general.

Benefits to the industry:

This qualification will ensure uniform standards of knowledge, skill and ability for Strata Control Observers across the industry. It will improve the level of professionalism within the discipline, and provide a point of reference for employers wishing to recruit qualified personnel. It will also contribute to the upliftment of education and skills level within the mining industry, with spin-off benefits to safety and productivity.

Benefits to the learner:

This qualification will equip the learner with necessary knowledge, skills and ability for promotion to the post of Strata Control Observer. It is also intended to provide the basic building blocks upon which to build a further career in rock engineering. Attaining this qualification will improve the learner's skills, thus increasing his potential employability. The concept of the four different streams, with appropriate elective unit standards, means that the learner can move between the different mining operations areas by completing the necessary elective unit standards.

People credited with this qualification will be able to:

Communicate and solve problems in a variety of ways. Demonstrate an understanding of occupational safety, health and environmental standards in

the workplace. Demonstrate an understanding of fundamental strata control principles. Conduct strata control operations and related activities in mining operations.

On a practical level, learners equipped with this qualification will be able to conduct the essential operations associated with the:

Observation and reporting of ground conditions; mining practices; support measures and requirements.

Assistance in quality control practices; identification of higher risk areas; collection of geotechnical and monitoring data.

Assist production personnel in identification and amelioration of rock related hazards.

Rationale:

Strata Control forms part of the discipline of Rock Engineering, one of the specialist disciplines within the mining environment. Rock engineering may be defined as technical mine engineering that bridges the gap between mining geology and production engineering. Its application turns geological and geotechnical information into rational mine plans, that facilitate maximum orebody extraction at least safety risk and lowest operating cost for the prevailing rock mass conditions. Rock engineering is concerned with the design of mining strategies, excavation layouts and support systems that ensure safe, stable and productive mining operations. There is a need for this qualification as there is an industry wide skills shortage of qualified Rock Engineers as identified in the Sector Skills Plan. This qualification is also necessary as the skills level amongst mining personnel has declined to such an extent that they can no longer conduct Strata Control operations as part of their day to day operations.

Strata Control may be defined as a risk management tool, which in part ensures the proper control of the mining environment to minimise the risk of local instability. Effective strata control ensures that on a local scale, appropriate mining strategies and/or support actions are employed to overcome local & unforeseen or unpredictable changes to the prevailing geotechnical environment. This requires on-site training in the mechanics of, and reasons for, excavation failure and the roles & mechanisms of excavation support.

The role of strata control also extends to ensuring adherence to mining layout and support standards, as well as the maintenance of quality control in support type selection and support installation. This is emphasised because the value of even the best available rock engineering advice is diminished if recommended standards and systems are not properly understood or implemented underground.

This NQF Level 2 qualification provides the basic foundation of theoretical knowledge, technical skills and practical ability applicable to the discipline of strata control and rock engineering. It is intended to equip entrants to the discipline with the basic building blocks upon which to build their further career in rock engineering, as well as serve as the appropriate qualification for a learner to be appointed as a Strata Control Observer. This qualification has 4 specialisation streams for learners to follow, based on different mining environments which vary significantly in geological composition, geotechnical environment and extraction method.

Learners entering this qualification will typically come from within the mining industry, with a NQF Level 1 education and some experience of the industry, although school-leaving matriculants may also be accepted. A learner will join a rock engineering department or

consultancy as a Strata Control Observer-in-Training, and will undergo a period of mentorship within the department or consultancy while completing the qualification.

Upon obtaining the qualification, the learner will be eligible for appointment as a Strata Control Observer. As such, helshe will be responsible for recording and reporting strata control-related issues for a portion of a shaft or mine, working under the supervision of a Junior Strata Control Officer or Strata Control Officer.

This is the first qualification in a learning pathway for Rock Engineering. A typical learning pathway for learners with this qualification within the rock engineering discipline begins with the GETC: Mining and Mineral Processes (entrance into discipline) and ends with the FETC: Rock Engineering: Strata Control NQF Level 4. The series provides a developmental pathway for the full range of activities required for Strata Control.

lntegrated Assessment:

lntegrated assessment at the level of the qualification provides an opportunity for learners to show they are able to integrate concepts, actions and ideas achieved across a range of unit standards and contexts.

lntegrated assessment must evaluate the quality of observable performance as well as the thinking behind the performance, and must be based on a summative assessment guide. The guide will spell out how the assessor will assess different aspects of the performance and will include:

Observing the learner at work (both in the primary activity as well as other interactions). 0 Asking questions and initiating short discussions to test understanding. 0 Looking at records and reports in the portfolio and reviewing previous assessments.

In some cases inference will be necessary to determine competence depending on the nature and context within which performance takes place.

It is necessary to ensure that the fundamental part of the qualification is also targeted to ensure that while the competence may have been achieved in a particular context, learners are able to apply it in a range of other contexts and for further learning. The assessment should also ensure that all the critical cross-field outcomes have been achieved.

The learner may choose in which language slhe wants to be assessed. This should be established as part of a process of preparing the learner for assessment and familiarising the learner with the approach being taken.

While this is primarily a workplace-based qualification, ev~dence from other areas of endeavour may be introduced if pertinent to any of the exit-level outcomes. The assessment process should cover both the explicit tasks required for the qualification as well as the understanding of the concepts and principles that underpin the activities associated with strata control.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY The Southern African mining industry finds itself in a unique situation, in that most mining operations are very labour-intensive, with the workforce generally having a low standard of education. Comparable operations in overseas countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia are highly mechanized, with well-qualified operators. In line with this approach, overseas mines do not have rock engineering departments-strata control issues are handled by the production personnel, while higher-level rock engineering is contracted to specialist consultancies.



Countries that dominate the world mining as measured by resources and knowledge industry are the United States, Canada and Australia, South Africa and Chile (http://www.mbendi.co.za/indy/ming/p0005.htm) Although South Africa is not number one mining country, it is arguably the best in terms of rock engineering because of the following reasons:

0 Mining at ultra depths (close to 4km): South Africa has the deepest mines in the world hence it has the most challenging rock engineering problems mainly due to the prevalence of seismic events. The other mining countries do not have these problems thus with reference to rock engineering, South Africa has to take the leading role and other countries, if need arises, always benchmark against it (Handley, 2006, Hilmaz 2006).

The labour intensiveness of South African operations: For instance, in a typical underground gold mine stope there are 11 miners exposed to strata control hazards for six hours per shift. This increases miner's exposure time to rockfalls, especially as some mines have rockfall probabilities that range as high as 7 to 14 % (Gumede, 2006). On the contrary, the other top mining countries are highly mechanized with some almost automated as such risk levels are significantly low hence not much attention is given to rock engineering training. As an example, drilling, loading and hauling operations in Kiruna Mine in Sweden are carried out by remote control from surface i.e. tele-operation. Http://www. memagazine.org/contents/current/features/armchair/armchair.html).

Size of mining in relation to the economy: Mining contributes significantly to the South African economy thus more funds are channelled to research if there is an industry threatening problem and this has led to South Africa being a pioneer in rock engineering (the Coalbrook Mining disaster giving rise to the universally applied Salmon and Munro pillar formula).

In essence, when it comes to rock engineering training activities there is no clearly defined precedence to benchmark against and the same observation was highlighted in the SIMRAC report GAP 609a. It should be noted that Australia which has relatively closer rock engineering problems to South Africa employ South Africans for their rock engineering operations and they recognize both the Strata Control and Rock Engineering certificates. Mining countries that have similar economies as South Africa; namely Brazil and Chile do not have these rock engineering problems because many of their mines are either open pit mines (quarries) or underground mines operating at very shallow depths. Also, most of the companies that have invested in these countries have South African subsidiaries hence they easily transfer rock engineering personnel. (e.g. Dr. F. Vieira formally CSlR now with Anglogold Ashanti is in charge of South American operations). The trend with most of these countries mines is to carry out an in-house training for their strata controllers. The same can be said for the African countries with some mainly SADC countries sending their strata controllers and rock engineers for training in South Africa. Added to that, almost all these mines consult South African Consulting companies for rock engineering related problems. Conclusively, whereas any form of rock engineering (training or practice) is regarded as a 'part-function' in all the countries, it is a specialist field in South Africa thus there is no direct comparability or correlation. Nevertheless, for comparison purposes, only an Australian qualification was chosen. The qualification was chosen because the outcomes are, to some extent, closer to the desired outcome for this qualification although it is intended for production personnel.
