As the New Year begins, employers in the Northern Free State should brace
themselves for the Department of Labour�s intensive workplace inspections to
check compliance on labour laws.
The blitz, scheduled for between January 15 and 18, next week in Heilbron,
in the Sasolburg area, will be particularly aimed at checking compliance by
employers on among others, Basic Conditions of Employment, Unemployment
Insurance, Employment Equity, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and
Diseases as well as the Occupational Health and Safety Acts.
Sectors mainly targeted for inspections will include private security,
contract cleaning, wholesale and retail, manufacturing and construction and all
other sectors where the Acts apply except for the farming sector.
