The Importance of Occupational Health and Safety in the Work Place
Occupational Health and Safety is important to the workplace because it safeguards the welfare of those in employment. Occupational Health and Safety legislation was established to protect both employees (workers) and employers (Business owners).
The Department of Employment and Labour (DOEL) in South Africa takes the well-being of employees very seriously, as should employers.
Every one has to comply or follow the guidance given in legal documents such as Acts and Regulations.
Every country has its own laws. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. You must understand it and follow it.
The law and relevant guidance documents generally promote good practice and in this module we look specifically at:
- The Commercial Diving Regulations of South Africa
- Codes of Practice
- Guidance documents concerning all aspects of equipment, operations and personnel related to diving operations.
