Conditions pertaining to health and safety must be fulfilled and a risk assessment of the workplace conducted before a business can reopen, Cosatu says

Cosatu wants workers and unions to have a say on whether a business can reopen when the hard Covid-19 lockdown ends on April 30, following a risk assessment and a signed agreement by stakeholders.
