AFRIMAT Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Health & Safety Learnership Programme. The closing date for applications is the 14th October 2025.
What AFRIMAT is Looking For
If you’re studying a health and safety course, you already have the right background. But it’s not just about the books – AFRIMAT wants someone ready to learn on the job, who can keep up in a busy setting, and who knows how to use basic office tools.
- Your current studies must be related to health and safety.
- You should be eager to learn and open to training.
- You need some experience in office admin or at least basic Microsoft Office skills.
- The job will move fast, so you should be able to take initiative and stay organised.
What You’ll Do
This learnership is all about real‑world safety duties. Here’s what you’ll get to do:
- Safety Inductions & Toolbox Talks – help new workers understand safety rules.
- Check the Rules – make sure the mine follows the Mine Health and Safety Act and other laws.
- Learn to Spot Hazards – get trained to recognise potential dangers in the workplace.
- Write Safety Documents – fish out important paperwork, upload it to the SHEQ system, and keep it up to date.
- Support the Safety Officer – inspect the site for hazards and help out with investigations when accidents happen.
- Join the Safety Team – attend committee meetings and take part in planning and review sessions.
- Do Audits – learn to perform internal and external safety checks.
- Help Workers – give advice on health and safety questions and report any near‑misses or incidents.
You’ll get hands‑on experience while learning how a professional safety team works.
