OUR SERVICES IN DUBE TRADEPORT AND KING SHAKA
- Is heat a concern inside greenhouses?
Yes. Greenhouses trap heat and humidity, so workers can face heat stress even on mild days. The Physical Agents Regulations, 2024 require heat to be assessed where it may affect employees.
Do cargo handlers need a noise survey?
Often. Ground support equipment, forklifts, conveyors and aircraft noise can push exposure over 85 dB(A).
Do greenhouse workers need a pesticide risk assessment?
Yes. Pesticides and fungicides are hazardous chemical agents. The assessment covers mixing, spraying, re-entry intervals and protective equipment.
