Workplace health and safety is not only a moral responsibility, but also a legal requirement in South Africa. The Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 places a legal duty on employers to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health and safety of employees.
​
Under Section 8 and Section 13 of the Act, employers are required to identify workplace hazards, implement precautionary measures, and ensure employees receive the necessary information, instruction, training and supervision to work safely and responsibly.
Employer Responsibility.
Legal Duty. Safer Workplaces.
1. Identify Hazards and Risks
Employers must identify hazards and risks attached to any work performed, substances used, equipment handled, or machinery operated within the workplace. This includes performing risk assessments and understanding how workplace activities may affect the health and safety of employees.
2. Implement Precautionary Measures
Employers are required to establish precautionary measures and provide the necessary means to reduce or control workplace risks. These measures help protect employees, prevent incidents and support a safer working environment.
3. Provide Information, Training & Supervision
The Act requires employers to provide employees with the necessary information, instructions, training and supervision needed to work safely. Employees should understand workplace hazards, safe procedures and the correct use of equipment and machinery.
Duty to Inform Employees
Employers must ensure that employees are made aware of the hazards related to their work, equipment, substances and workplace processes, as well as the precautionary measures that should be followed to maintain health and safety in the workplace.
