Importance of Occupational Health and Safety Training
Health and safety is sometimes seen as difficult, intimidating and irritating with sets of rules that must be obeyed. However, through comprehensive training, the subject can be easily understood and then becomes an extremely simple concept to grasp.
Employers are required by law to ensure that they provide a workplace that is safe and free from harm to the safety, health and wellbeing of employees, as far as reasonably practicable. Each organisation must have a dedicated health and safety team with the necessary training and knowledge to ensure:
- That all employees and visitors are protected against avoidable injury, disease, disability or even death.
- That the company assets and broader surroundings are protected.
- That the company assets and broader surroundings are protected.
- That employees are not subjected to chronic occupational diseases that are preventable.
- That the business is protected against any unnecessary insurance claims and/or financial losses that stem from illnesses and injuries that could have been avoided.
Benefits of OHS Training for Companies
- The provision of OHS training is mandatory for companies in South Africa. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines and even imprisonment, resulting in costs that are far higher than that of the costs involved with providing training.
- It is best practice and forms part of safe working methods and procedures.
- It provides companies in South Africa additional points towards their OHS and skills development of employees.
- It gives the employer peace of mind because occupational health and safety training makes employees more aware of the hazards and risks in the workplace, leading to the minimisation of these risks and the reduction of incidents.
- OHS training is a requirement for companies to obtain tenders.
- It ensures productivity and skills development because employees can be taught in their language, which will ensure that quality work is ensured. It also boosts the overall efficiency of employees, translating to less time spent on resolving mistakes.
- It results in cost reductions because fewer work-related injuries and accidents occur, helping the employer save on Injury on Duty (IOD) claims, illnesses, deaths, damage to property and equipment, staff turnover and many others.
