New OHS regulations effective December 2025 - fines from R50,000 per violation, criminal charges apply. Is your team covered?
What KZN employers are dealing with right now
DoL Inspections Are Getting Stricter
New OHS regulations took effect in December 2025. Fines now start at R50,000 per violation and can reach R1 million - with shutdowns and criminal charges on the table. Most violations come down to one thing: untrained staff.
Compliance Certificates Expire - and Most Employers Miss It
First Aid certification is valid for 2-3 years. Forklift licences, fire safety training, HAZCHEM - all have expiry dates. One inspector, one expired cert, one shutdown. The paperwork chase never ends.
You Need Qualified People. The Pipeline Is Broken.
KZN employers report a 38% increase in difficulty filling engineering and technical roles. Logistics and warehousing demand is up 10%. The national training system produces graduates who need retraining before they can work. You're left holding the problem.
On-Site Risk Is a Legal Liability
In the metals and manufacturing sector alone, 18,800 injury claims were recorded in a single financial year. Young and untrained workers are the highest-risk group. Under OHS Act Section 37, the employer carries the liability - not the worker.
Everything under one accreditation
One provider. Four accrediting bodies. Training that meets DoL requirements, keeps your team safe, and holds up under inspection.
