Companies that employ people in high-risk areas and the public in general, have one month left to comment on the draft ergonomic regulations set to be promulgated in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHASA). In January, Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant gazetted her intention to introduce Ergonomics Regulations into the Act and invited written public comments in relation to the draft. Under the proposed regulations, employers will be required to implement an ergonomics programme at any workplace where employees could be exposed to physical or cognitive ergonomic risk.
