Attached are two important notices that were issued by the Department of Employment and Labouras well as the Department of Co-Operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, regarding the current COVID-19 crisis. They will both impact on your life and business and it is vital that you consider the contents thereof. SAIOH can assist to source OH AIA’s specialising in conducting Hazardous Biological Agents Risk Assessment or updating any existing HBA Risk Assessments.
Furthermore, we support the following measures to respond to the Covid-19 crisis:
All OH equipment should be disinfected before being used, as well as after it is collected.
OH staff have to be trained to take the correct precautions when conducting any surveys on your premises and will interact as little as possible with your staff (i.e. practice social distancing where-ever possible).
SAIOH have decided to suspend all face-to-face meetings, however we are investigating the feasibility to do aforementioned remotely, e.g. conduct on-line webinar training, etc.. This will enable your staff/people to meet in smaller groups/or as individuals. All they need is access to a computer and internet connection or meet in a room where there is a projector/orat least one computer/laptop with an internet connection,as well as sound. We feel that this is the most conservative approach that can be taken to prevent or at least slow downthe spread of this disease.
