Municipalities in Limpopo will come under sharp scrutiny next week, with
Labour inspectors embarking on an intensive workplace blitz inspections to
determine the level of compliance with safety laws.
The week-long blitz inspection campaign, scheduled for between Monday and
Friday (16 to 20 July), forms part of the department's ongoing drive to ensure
safe and healthy workplaces.
Inspectors will be particularly focusing on compliance right across the
province, with special emphasis to parks and recreation facilities, water and
sewage plant systems, electrical distribution system, risk assessment and
driven machinery regulations.
During the inspections, emphasis will be especially put on compliance with
provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations.
The exercise will be open to media.
