The Act, known as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act 85, 1993) consists of 50 sections approved by Parliament. The purpose of the Act is to provide for the health and safety of people at work or in connection with the use of plant and machinery. It further provides for the protection of people other than people at work from hazards arising out of or in connection with the activities of people at work. To ensure that these duties are complied with, the employer must identify potential hazards which may be present while work is being done; establish the precautionary measures that are necessary, provide the necessary information, instructions training and supervision while keeping the extent of workers’ competence in mind to protect his or her workers

It is not however, it’s not only the responsibility of the employer to keep the work environment safe and healthy. Section 14 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (85 of 1993) states that employees need to look out for their own safety as well as the health and safety of those around them. Health and safety is therefore everyone’s duty.

Our products and services will ensure your organisation remains compliant and up-to-date with changing legislation, including the new Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993, requires the employer to bring about and maintain, as far as reasonably practicable, a work environment that is safe and without risk to the health of the workers.

(Risk Assessment)

This means that the employer must ensure that the workplace is free of hazardous substances. Where this is not possible, the employer must inform workers of these dangers, how they may be prevented, and how to work safely, and provide other protective measures for a safe workplace.(Health and Safety Committee).

(Risk Assessment)

This means that the employer must ensure that the workplace is free of hazardous substances. Where this is not possible, the employer must inform workers of these dangers , how they may be prevented, and how to work safely, and provide other protective measures for a safe workplace.(Health and Safety Committee).

The Act is based on the principle that dangers in the workplace must be addressed by communication and cooperation between the workers and the employer.

The workers and the employer must share the responsibility for health and safety in the workplace. Both parties must pro-actively identify dangers and develop control measures to make the workplace safe. In this way, the employer and the workers are involved in a system where health and safety representatives  may inspect the workplace regularly and then report to a health and safety Committee, who in turn may submit recommendations to the employer.
