It cannot be business as usual, says Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi Businesses must have a clear plan on how they will protect the health and safety of everyone in their workplace, Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi.

Johannesburg - Businesses must have a clear plan on how they will protect the health and safety of everyone in their workplace, Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi said on Sunday.

The direction sets out the measures that employers must take to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 in workplaces, and these, we must emphasize are minimum measures. Employers are able to go beyond that. "The process starts with a risk assessment in the workplace and a clear plan to implement the measures contained in the direction."* Notify every employer of the contents of the direction and how it will be implemented.

* They must take measures to minimise contact between the workers and between the workers and the public to prevent the transmission. * They must report any diagnosis of Covid-19 at work to the Department of Health and to the Department of Employment and Labour, investigate the cause and take appropriate measures.* They must support any contact tracing measures initiated by the Department of Health.
