THE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT PACKAGE

The purpose of The Health and Safety Risk Assessment Package, is to provide an organisation with an On-site Health and Safety Task Risk Assessment conducted in the workplace and specific Risk Control Activities in order to ensure legal compliance to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and to provide a safe working environment for all role-players. 

Workplace tasks and activities are identified with the aid of a health and safety practitioner from our Operational Partner, MAKROSAFE Holdings (Pty) Ltd, visiting and liaising with an organisation representative, who requires a list of essential tasks and activities including documents, as is required by the task risk assessment.

Tasks and activities will then be analysed for levels of risk based on the hazards identified and control measures will be identified to be implemented. This process demands extensive knowledge and the understanding of their technicalities and risk ratings. Safe operating procedures will then be written and communicated per task.

WHO NEEDS THESE SERVICES?

These services are intended for all organisations who wish to implement and maintain their health and safety programmes within their business in order to ensure these remain effective in addressing health and safety for the purpose of ensuring that all loved ones can return home healthy and safe after work. 

WHY ARE THESE SERVICES IMPORTANT?

The conducting of Health and Safety Risk Assessment is a legal requirement by the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Not doing so results in non-compliance to the Act and may result in penalties being awarded to the employer, injuries on duty, production losses, and possibly the death of a person exposed to hazards that could have been identified and controlled/corrected.

Through the health and safety risk assessment package, the organisation is able to provide evidence to the Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL) of the actions being taken to maintain health and safety within their organisation and so show to the DoEL their commitment to health and safety in the workplace.

ADD-ON COMPONENTS TO THE SERVICES

Where an employer requires more health and safety components on top of those already offered in this Package, for example, a greater number of tasks to be added to the health and safety risk assessment Package, these must be obtained from the My Safety Shop website as separate products which can be added to the Payment Plan, for SafetyWallet Subscribers. Alternatively, an employer may select a different package with a higher volume of items to suit their needs.
