Put safety first
S
afety is one of the most important aspects that
we can deal with in any industry. Whenever an
accident occurs it has huge implications. To
keep yourself up-to-date with the latest news
on safety, Forklift SA, recommends that role
players visit the Occupational Safety and Health Exhibition
(A-OSHEXPO) that will take place at Gallagher in Midrand at
the end of the month. According to the organiser’ of the
show, no local industry is more conscious of its importance
than the mining sector. Not only are hundreds of people
employed in mining, there are also many potentially
hazardous variables to be aware. These include noise and
respirable dust to a constantly changing environment, risk of
on-site injury and equipment, including robust and heavy duty
forklifts and materials handling equipment. The seminars that
run concurrently with the show are always interesting. Some
of the topics will include:
• New regulations of the OHS Act 85 of 1993 as well as
other new regulatory measures including the prosecution
register by Tibo Szana, chief inspector: Occupational Health
and Safety from the SA Department of Labour
• An introduction to environmental law and update on recent
developments delivered by Justine Sweet, CEO
environmentalist at Sasol SA
• Ergonomics – what is this and why do you need
to adapt your business by Dale Kennedy of
Ergonomax Holdings.
