We are concerned with all aspects of workplace health and safety, with a strong emphasis on risk prevention through a variety of actions including:

• Promoting workplace safety through safe work practices.
• Ensure that employees use ergonomically correct methods and actions.
• Monitoring overall workplace health and looking for opportunities for improvement.
• Employees who are ill or have missed work due to illness are supported.
• Providing ongoing mental health support to those stressed at work or home.

Occupational health helps employers assess their current environment and work to reduce health risks while complying with changing legislation.

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993), health surveillance provides a risk-based framework for assessing the health of workers, including their fitness to work, and for monitoring exposed workers. It facilitates the prevention, early detection and treatment of illnesses that may affect their health and work performance.
