Secure Your Metal and Engineering Operations: Partner with MAKROSAFE for Top-Notch Health and Safety Solutions

Are you a metal and engineering employer in South Africa struggling with OHS compliance, rising incident rates, and costly penalties? You're not alone. Our industry faces unique challenges in safeguarding employees and ensuring a safe working environment.

OHS Compliance in the Metal and Engineering Industry:

Overall Compliance Status: The Metal and Engineering Industry, like many industrial sectors, has variable rates of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance across its different sub-sectors. This variability is due to the diverse nature of work, ranging from high-risk foundry operations to lower risk engineering design offices.

Sub-sector Variability: High-risk areas such as foundries and heavy metal fabrication often have greater challenges in achieving full compliance due to the inherent risks of their operations. Conversely, sub-sectors with less physically intensive processes might exhibit higher compliance rates.
