Vigilant OHS in the Metal and Steel Industry Must be Implemented to Curtail Daily Injuries
Vigilant Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) measures in the South African Metal and Engineering Industry are of paramount importance, a fact underscored by the 140 injuries that take place every day in this work arena.
To reduce and control injuries, and to implement the safety standards demanded by the OHS Act, is no easy task. But that problem has been solved with a high-tech online system. This offers companies substantial returns on their investments (ROI) for reaching OHS compliance levels.
MAKROSAFE is a leading South African OHS consultancy and it has introduced an innovative SafetyWallet programme. Powered by OHS Online, this state-of-the-art technology is user-friendly and a valuable time-saver. The SafetyWallet is twofold - it offers companies fantastic gains on their investment, both financially as well as in terms of meeting the stringent compliance demands of the OHS Act.
Example of SafetyWallet Rewards
The SafetyWallet both encourages and rewards members for OHS compliance achievements. Apart from the OHS Act, Metal and Engineering Industry employers must also adhere to all other relevant OHS legislation, regulations, standards, as well as Metropolitan and Municipal By-Laws that relate to OHS in the workplace. Supported by its online technology, MAKROSAFE provides the tools and support to ensure OHS compliance, while dangling the carrot of a reward as an incentive to achieve outstanding health and safety results.
