Health & Safety Representative

The appointment of Health and Safety Representatives (or SHE Reps) is a legal requirement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. SHE Reps play a key role in any organisation by representing the health and safety interests of the workforce, performing routine health and safety inspections, and promoting and supporting internal health and safety systems. This course equips delegates to function effectively as Health and Safety Representatives in any workplace.

Health & Safety Supervisor

This popular, informative, two-day programme is designed to help managers and supervisors understand their responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It covers key legal requirements and provides practical guidance for implementing effective health and safety systems, equipping supervisors to confidently manage health and safety in the workplace.

Evacuation Planning

Emergencies happen unexpectedly. Having proper planning and training in place is the best way to ensure that everyone can evacuate safely when disaster strikes. This course equips Health and Safety Team members to plan and manage safe, efficient workplace evacuations. It covers the development and implementation of emergency response procedures, legal requirements around evacuation floor plans and emergency signage, and the importance of conducting bi-annual evacuation drills.

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, all employers are legally required to proactively identify workplace hazards, evaluate the associated risk levels, and implement control measures to eliminate or reduce those risks.

Incident Investigation

Incident Investigation training provides delegates with the knowledge and expertise to logically investigate workplace incidents and accidents with the aim of identifying the underlying causes and putting preventative measures in place. The course covers the legal requirements of incident investigation as per the OHS Act, including which incidents need to be reported to the Inspector and what paperwork needs to be submitted. Delegates are taught a structured, step-by-step incident investigation process.

16.2 Workshop

This focused, two-hour workshop is designed for time-strapped senior managers, supervisors, and department heads who need a clear, practical overview of health and safety compliance requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act 85 of 1993.

The Occupational Health & Safety Act

For many people, the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act 85 of 1993 can appear complex and difficult to understand. In this course, our knowledgeable instructors explain the key sections and obligations contained in the Act in clear, straightforward language, giving delegates practical guidance on how to meet legal compliance requirements.

Ergonomics in the Workplace Workshop

Ergonomics focuses on the interactions between workers and their work environment to improve safety, comfort, and efficiency. With the Department of Employment and Labour actively enforcing the Ergonomics Regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993, employers in South Africa are required to implement an ergonomics programme that includes ergonomics training for all employees.

Stacking and Storage

Well-designed and well-maintained stacking and storage systems are vital for workplace safety and efficiency. Efficient stacking and storage systems enable effective stock control, minimise waste, support good housekeeping, reduce the risk of injuries, and assist with fire prevention.

Hazardous Material Handling (HAZMAT)

Any organisation that stores chemicals on site or handles hazardous materials should ensure that employees are trained in the safe handling and storage of these substances. HAZMAT training equips delegates to store and handle hazardous materials safely, reducing risks to company personnel, the public, and the environment.

Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act

Registering under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act is a strict legal requirement for all SA employers.
