Occupational Health and Safety

Introduction to occupational health services

Occupational Health and Safety is a discipline concerned with the safety, health and welfare of people in the workplace. Legislation regulates occupational health and safety inspection and enforcement; and as stated in Section 8 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 85 of 1993:  

“ Every employer shall provide and maintain, as far as is reasonably practicable, a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of its employees. “

The HealthyWorkerClinic is committed to assisting employers to be legally compliant by creating partnerships and to the education of the employer and employee thereby ensuring the health and wellbeing of the workforce. Services offered by the HealthyWorkerClinic will always be carried out at the highest standard of quality and according to regulation by the occupational health act, while at all times professionally and without sacrificing best ethical practices.
