QUESTION 1
In South Africa, both the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act and the Mine Health and Safety
(MHS) Act outline safety responsibilities for employees in any work environment. In the context of
the Ballito construction site collapse case study, here are five general safety responsibilities of
employees:
1. Adherence to Safety Procedures and Regulations
Employees are required to follow all prescribed safety procedures and adhere to workplace safety
rules. This includes wearing protective gear, following safety protocols for working near
embankments, and using equipment appropriately. In the Ballito case, ensuring the proper use of
protective equipment and adherence to safety protocols could have reduced risks.
