CORRECTIVE ACTION

IES

Strengthening Social Protection

Number of workplaces audited todetermine their compliance levels in terms of Occupational Health andSafety Legislation

Given the increase in number of inspections done (15.9%) it was impossible for inspectors to audit the places as planned as more resources had to be utilised to meet the extra demand else where

Increase advocacy sessions with employers to ensure compliance

Number of noncomplying workplaces to of those audited dealt with in terms of the relevant enforcementregime (OHS legislation)

The target could not be reached due:

•Some of the notices issued were still within the period•The increase in demand made it impossible to go back and do more follow-up inspections

Increase advocacy sessions with employers to minimise non-compliance
