Ergonomic Risk Assessments

On the 6th of December in 2019 the Minister of Employment and Labour published the new Ergonomics Regulations in the Government Gazette, in terms of section 43 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (the “OHASA”).

This regulation aims to protect the health and safety of all individuals who may be exposed to ergonomic risks in the workplace. The regulation states that employers are required to establish a training programme for all employees exposed to ergonomic risks. A risk assessment must be conducted for all tasks where an employee is exposed to ergonomic risks. Ergonomic risk assessments must be conducted and reviewed every two years. Ergonomic risk assessments must also be reviewed if a reportable incident occurs or if an employee suffers an adverse health effect as a result of exposure to ergonomic risks. Employers must also ensure that medical surveillance for ergonomics are incorporated into its existing medical surveillance system.

The Ergonomics Regulation of 2019 is available on
