OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT
An occupational health risk assessment is a structured process used to identify workplace hazards, evaluate potential health risks, and determine appropriate control measures to protect employee health and wellbeing. Health risk assessments consider physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and environmental hazards arising from work activities.
A health risk assessment forms the foundation of an effective occupational hygiene and health management programme.
WHY ARE HEALTH RISKS A CONCERN?
Unidentified or poorly managed health risks may result in occupational illnesses and long-term health effects; increased absenteeism and reduced productivity; higher compensation and medical costs; reduced employee morale and wellbeing; legal non-compliance and enforcement action; many health risks develop gradually and may not be immediately apparent without formal assessment.
Employers are legally required to identify hazards, assess health risks, and implement appropriate control measures in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (85 of 1993); Applicable health and safety regulations; Mine Health and Safety Act (29 of 1996), where applicable
Health risk assessments are a fundamental legal requirement and support ongoing compliance and risk management.
