This tender seeks a service provider to conduct research identifying implementable early flag indicators in screening audiometry to prevent Occupational Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (ONIHL) in the South African mining industry. The project duration is 18 months.
The Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) is inviting bids for a research project aimed at identifying effective early flag indicators in screening audiometry to mitigate Occupational Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (ONIHL) in the South African mining industry. This project addresses a critical gap in current ONIHL prevention strategies, which often rely on reactive measures rather than proactive identification of risks. The successful bidder will conduct a comprehensive literature review, evaluate existing practices, and develop a practical framework for implementing these indicators within the industry.
The scope of work includes reviewing local and international literature, identifying thresholds for early intervention, and assessing the feasibility of proposed indicators in various mining operations. Additionally, the service provider will develop an ONIHL Early-Flag Indicator Framework and provide implementation guidance to ensure compliance with existing regulations. The expected outcomes include detailed reports on each phase of the research, culminating in a final report that will contribute significantly to improving occupational health and safety standards in the mining sector.
This tender is suitable for research institutions, consulting firms, and companies with expertise in occupational health, audiology, and noise management within the mining sector. Businesses with a strong background in applied research and a proven track record in the mining industry are encouraged to apply.
