QUESTION 1
1.1 Two Key Limits That Decide Whether a Disease Is Covered by the Occupational
Diseases in Mines and Works Act 78 of 1973 (5)Workplace and Industry Scope:
A key limit in ODIMWA is that it only applies to persons employed in mines or
controlled works as defined in the Act. This means that the law is restricted to the mining
sector and workplaces connected to mining activities. If a worker contracts a disease
outside this defined environment, ODIMWA does not apply because the statutory
framework is specific to mining and related works.
