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.

“This must be negotiated with and agreed to by workers and unions in workplaces. Any sector or workplace must have a signed health and safety agreement,” he said. The lockdown regulations have had a huge impact on the economy as key sectors temporarily shut their doors as the country battled to flatten the curve of Covid-19, which has infected 3,953 and killed 75 in SA.

When SA moves from level 5 to level 4 on May 1, some businesses will be allowed to resume operations but under specific conditions, the president said.
