1. Introduction

An employer has a legal and moral obligation to safeguard all employees and the public against injury
and disease, as well as risks to health and safety, from all operations associated with its business.
Management must identify all risks inherent in the company’s operations and take steps to manage
and control such risks. In the event of a prosecution, the employer will have to prove that managers
actively participated in the implementation and enforcement of health, safety and environmental
control within their respective areas of responsibility. This induction covers the responsibilities of the
employer and his/her appointed managers in terms of occupation health and safety and
environmental control.

 Duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent an incident, in addition to taking corrective action
after an incident has occurred.
 Implementation of a formalised risk assessment program.
 Liability of suppliers of goods/services to companies.

year, unless:

 A health or safety incident occurred.
 An injury is sustained, no matter how minor.
 Processes are changed.

at the workplace receive training and refresher training on the storage and handling of
hazardous substances.
