Health & Safety Course
Basic requirements for all Spas
It is legislation in SA that all companies shall adhere to the OHS Act 85 of 1993 to ensure that their employees, suppliers and customers are always protected against any possible hazardous or dangerous situation. To not adhere to these legislation will have a severe impact on an organisation. Either by a claim that is brought against the company after an incident occurred or by the Department of Labour’s high fines or even a Health and Safety inspector. If you work with people, you are even more at risk of being investigated.
“Clients will be more comfortable knowing that at their Spa of choice there will be somebody who can help with any medical emergency or fire, should one break out. Wouldn’t you? A Spa cannot really afford to have these processes in place.” – Dr. Nadine de Freitas
