Labour inspectors accuse department of contravening health and safety regulations
THE Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has 60 days to comply with a Labour Department notice issued after serious health hazards, flagged by the Public Servants Association (PSA), forced the shutdown of the Nyanga branch.
The office was closed on Tuesday after an inspection uncovered the unsafe conditions.
Following the inspection, a direction notice was served on the DHA for contravening health and safety regulations.
The notice requires the department to submit a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance for all repairs and installations, and to conduct an Ergonomics Risk Assessment before commencing any work that could expose employees to ergonomic hazards.
Alongside this, a prohibition notice was issued, seen by the Cape Times, preventing the reopening of the Nyanga office until several urgent safety measures are addressed.
