dc.description.abstract Today there are an estimated 2 300 steel wire ropes installed in roughly 200 underground mines in South Africa. These mines employ more than 280 000 workers underground and hoist several millions of tonnes of rock to the surface every month. The only method to transport the workers into the shaft is by some form of conveyance running in steel guides that stretch the length to the shaft from surface to the bottom. The CSIR is one of the only two local, accredited testing facilities that conduct tests to ensure that these ropes comply with safety standards. This poster discusses the functions and importance of the steel wire ropes in mine safety. en
