SALUTEM OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY
The Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993 is the South African government legislation ensuring a safe workplace for all. All businesses no matter the industry, need to comply with the Act and Regulations of this legislation. The Department of Employment and Labour is the custodian of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993. This department may conduct inspections at your premises “without previous notice” as stipulated in the Act. The inspector may issue a contravention notice, lockout any activity, issue a fine or close your business, if non-compliance is found. Therefore, the responsibility of a healthy and safe workplace is with the owner of any business.
The Act protects the owner/employers, employees, contractors and customers or any person that might be affected by your workplace environment or activities.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993 was implemented to ensure that employees are protected in their everyday working environment.
