For a construction company in the throes of completing a project for a major client, the client’s needs are usually front and centre. Staying within budget, meeting the deadline, communicating with shareholders, and using the correct building materials are all very important parts of these needs. However, for the construction company to deliver its best work, it must ensure the health and safety of its employees first.
To assist business owners in implementing Occupational Health & Safety rules on site, Aprolasa has compiled a complete list of essential services that include everything from OHS compliance and management system audits to compiling safety files.
We can help your business with the compilation of specification documents, which relate to the requirements, quality control parameters and standards of a product or project. Along with that we can assist with the compilation of Contractor OHS plans and the implementation of inspection systems.
Any construction site must have advisory and consultative services in place and have risk assessments done. A fall protecting plan must be implemented and in the unfortunate event of an incident that leads to injury, a proper incident and accident investigation must be done. Aprolasa has extensive experience in all these aspects of Occupational Health & Safety, and we also offer a range of services that relate to OHS, including medical surveillance to ensure employee’s fitness to work, as well as general medical examinations. Our medical examination services include Working on Heights and Operator examinations.
Furthermore, our services apply to any business environment, as the purpose of Occupational Health & Safety is to prevent hazards in the workplace that can lead to injury. It includes the study of injury and illness trends in the office/factory/workshop, and solutions gathered to mitigate the risks of it. These solutions centre around the effective and appropriate use of PPE and the owner’s responsibility in ensuring that all workers have the required equipment to perform their tasks safely. They also include assessments on how safely employees operate work equipment and how fit and hydrated they are when working long hours doing intense physical labour in extreme temperatures.
Adherence to OHS is law in South Africa and around the world, and there are severe consequences for being ignorant of all the facets thereof.
Aprolasa’s goal is to design and implement ongoing efficient methods of implementing OHS services at affordable rates for all sectors. Contact us today for more information on our services and to set up a consultation: Jean Barnard 082 301 3866 / Christiaan du Toit 061 465 6077
