 Joining forces with training companies; AAH Skills & Developmet and NK Skills Training and Development; SN-Consulting is surely a force to be reckoned with in the Occupational Health and Safety Field.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 85 of 1993, govern the minimum requirements, which the employer must adhere to for the health and safety of employees at work. The greatest shortfall in industry is the fact that most organizations tend to comply with the stipulations as depicted in the regulations of the Act, but do not realize that there is in fact a specific duty placed on the employer to ensure effective compliance to regulations via sections of the Act.

The first logical step towards promoting Occupational Health and Safety in the South

African Industry is to establish compliance to the OHS Act, relevant Acts and incorporated standards, which supports the OHS Act.

 

The process towards legal compliance rests solemnly on the employer to identify hazards risks and perils of the operations of the business. This is to determine the scope of accountability in the organization and to determine the resources needed to eliminate and/or mitigate hazards and risks in order to establish basic compliance.

Taking the above information into consideration, this is exactly where SN-Consulting comes into the equation. SN-Consulting offers a comprehensive Safety, Health and Environmental consultancy service to the industry to assist them to comply with all aspects of the Occupation Health and Safety Act, act 85 of 1993.
