Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws in South Africa, primarily governed by the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993 (OHSA), mandate employers to provide safe workplaces, conduct risk assessments, and offer necessary training and equipment. Employees are also obligated to adhere to safety protocols and report hazards. The Department of Employment and Labour enforces compliance through inspections and penalties, while industry-specific regulations and guidelines supplement the OHSA. These laws aim to protect workers, prevent accidents, and foster a culture of safety in the workplace.
