Is your workforce sufficiently protected from anything in the workplace that is hazardous? Do they wear the appropriate safety workwear in order to carry out their work in safety?
Whether you have a manufacturing plant that involves the use of hazardous substances, such as in a chemical manufacturing plant, or your workers are dealing with extreme heat and working with dangerous machinery, your staff has to be provided with the appropriate safety workwear.
Otherwise known as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), safety workwear is a must in many different industries, in order to provide employees with a safe and healthy working environment.
According to labourguide.co.za; “the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993, requires an 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.
This means that the employer must ensure that the workplace is free of hazardous substances, such as benzene, chlorine, microorganisms, articles, equipment, process, etc., that may cause injury, damage or disease.
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.”
Wearing the right safety workwear not only keeps your staff safe, it also protects you from prosecution that could arise out of not protecting your workforce, by the OHS inspectors of the Department of Labour.
Although the responsibility for health and safety in the workplace doesn’t rest solely on the shoulders of the employer, it is their job to provide the right safety workwear to the workforce, and from there, to work in tandem with staff to maintain health and safety measures.
