Hi S As there have been no other entries I can add some hopefully helpful stuff I know there was a joint IOSH/South African OSH conference in May which addressed issues which may help. or at least give you a starting point or contacts to follow up on. I worked in Swaziland, small country east of SA some years ago and worked on an Australian foreign aid programme [don't ask!]for the Swazi govt in health and safety-running their Factories Inspectorate-great job. Also Inspector of Machinery -very colonial. I met many South Africans working in the country in many sectors-construction, Asbestos mining , Sugar Cane, growing and refining, usually for South African firms so I think you could expect to work in surrounding countries and other remote locations. I found it hard work with some of the 'Afrikaaners' but it was great couple of years. Times may have changed however, but I would recommend it. Try the SA High Commission. Too Regards Mike

Thanks Shane, Mike, your help is appreciated.
