To achieve the main service MTTN SHERQ offers the following as part of the permit application for construction work to be done:

• Health and Safety Specifications
• Health and Safety Plan
• Baseline Risk Assessments
• Act as Safety Agents

Nearly every month there is a health and safety fatality in the construction industry. This industry is one of the most closely monitored by the Department of Labour. If you haven't had a visit from an inspector yet, you will soon.

Check if you have done ALL of these things:.

1. Do you have Health and Safety specifications and plans for your constructions sites?
2. Have you conducted a risk assessment before and during commencement of construction work?
3. Have you notified the Department of Labour of the construction work?
4. Can you prove that you gave each employee safety induction training?
5. Are all your employees working in elevated positions in possession of a medical fitness certificate?
6. Are you carrying out daily inspections of your excavations prior to the start of the shift?
7. Do you have trained scaffold erectors and trained scaffold inspectors?
8. Is your construction site fenced off to prevent unauthorised access?
9. Do you have a safety file on site with all the relevant documentation?
10. Have you drawn up a detailed method statement for demolition work?
11. Do you inspect formwork and support work structures immediately before, during and after the placement of concrete and thereafter daily until the structure is removed? 12. Have you done a fall protection plan for your site?
13. Do you have an emergency evacuation plan for your site?
14. Do you have safe work procedures and related training in place?
15. Do you comply with flammable liquid storage requirements?
16. Have you appointed a stacking and storage supervisor?.

If your answer is NO on the above then you need MTTN SHERQ Services.

Having employees who understand health and safety will:

• Reduce absenteeism
• Reduce your staff turnover costs
• Decrease your healthcare costs
• Reduce your insurance premiums and compensation claims
• Decrease accidents
• Improve productivity

• You think because you trained your employees, they are following your health and safety procedures... 88% of accidents are caused by unsafe acts of workers.

• You're safe from prosecution because the Department of Labour doesn't check compliance with the OHS Act... 10 949 notices were served for contraventions in health and safety requirements during 2006/7. 1230 companies had to stop production.

• Productivity is more important than health and safety. The insured cost to uninsured cost ratio is R1: R53 per incident. How much profit do you need to make to absorb an uninsured incident cost of R1 million?

If you think health and safety isn't important in your company, think again. The Department of Labour is clamping down and doing more workplace inspections.

• A lot of companies aren't too worried about implementing health and safety in their workplace. On the one hand, management doesn't want to spend money to implement health and safety. On the other, companies that do have health and safety policies, can't get their employees to follow the procedures.

• Most people only realise the problem when an accident happens. They get a visit from the Department of Labour, the employer gets laid with criminal charges and the business is shut down - which can cost some companies millions!

• Only then do they ask why procedures were not in place or followed correctly. Only then do they start to see how important health and safety is. By then, its too late.

• We have a solution to all of your health and safety problems. It's not going to confuse you. We will give you straight forward actionable advice to solve all of your health and safety worries.
