Good day Members,

Please note that the Minister of Employment and Labour has, under section 43 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993), after consultation with the Advisory Council for OHS, made the regulations in the schedule. The Ergonomics Regulations Act will come into operation on the date of publication in the Gazette.

ADAPT is involved, since September 2019, in the research project

This is the media briefing:
The Department of Trade and Industry (dti) has issued a recall of all products from the Enterprise and Rainbow Chicken Limited companies, which have been found to have traces of Listeria.

“Given the findings of Listeria, it is clear that there has been a drop in the quality controls at these facilities. They have, as of this morning, been issued with safety recall notices according to Section 60(2) of the Consumer Protection Act,” said dti Director General Lionel October.

New QCTO Qualification.
Bakusasa Training Academy is now accredited by QCTO to offer this course.

Hi all, has anyone found sufficient information to draw up an Environmental Policy and questionnaire for checking sustainability index of clients for a small office based company that they are willing to share? I am struggling to find information on ISO 140001.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Early reports of tragic accidents never have full details. However, an earlier report of an accident at the Naval Base in Durban referred to "contract" workers. Then I picked up this report from SANews, which refers to "construction" workers. 

First, we must express our condolences to the families of these workers and soldiers - who left in the morning and did not return at the end of the day, as a result of an accident at the workplace.
