Safety Monitoring at Rhodes University
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (1993) requires that health and safety in the workplace is monitored on a regular basis. At Rhodes University, quarterly inspection reports should be completed by Health & Safety Reps, discussed and countersigned by the workplace Head or Manager, and a copy sent to the Safety, Health & Environmental Officer: Alumni House, Lucas Ave, RU or email safety(at)ru.ac.za
Reports should be completed each RU term: e.g. 15th March, June, September & December.
