Companies must provide the necessary instructions, procedures, and training to their employees to avoid workplace injuries. According to Labour.gov.za, "The employer must provide and maintain all the equipment that is necessary to do the work, and all the systems according to which work must be done, in a condition that will not affect the health and safety of workers." This equipment includes providing the correct PPE to avoid the risk of long- and short-term workplace injuries.
PPE is essential for many industries in South Africa, including but not limited to the manufacturing, agricultural, healthcare, mining, construction and fire-fighting industries. Allow us to help you protect your employees from workplace injuries. According to TransformSA, some of the most common workplace injuries occur from slipping on slippery floors, tripping over objects and falling.
It is vital that you provide your employees with the correct footwear to avoid the risk of injury. At Uhambo, we supply a variety of safety wear and equipment that provides comfort and protection against workplace injuries.
