Why this workshop matters now
The Department of Employment and Labour has announced the rollout of 10 000 additional inspectors over the next year. This signals a significant increase in workplace inspections across all sectors and a renewed focus on health and safety compliance.
While this development is intended to improve workplace safety and should not cause alarm, it does mean that employers need to ensure they are fully prepared for increased Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) compliance inspections.
Invest in training today and help your business remain compliant, improve emergency preparedness and protect both your employees and your business.
