This one day safety training seminar has been crafted in response to specific requests from members who needed to fulfill requirements of ISO accreditation. One of these requirements is to ensure that all personnel starting with those at the lower end of the skills ladder are effectively made aware of the hazards and risks that they face in their daily work routine. Ensuring that employees have an understanding of the correct procedures when working with various types of machinery, hazardous substances and the correct use of safety equipment is of paramount importance to all employers today.

SAMFA is indebted to the Surface Engineering Association of the U.K. (www.sea.org.uk) and the UK Health & Safety executive (www.hse.gov.uk) who kindly allowed us the use of these materials on which to base our local training.

Fees per participant:

SAMFA Members - R 735 excluding VAT
Non Members       - R 920 excluding VAT

Various guest speakers address the trainees, including an OHS expert as well as a specialist in the correct use of personal protective apparel.

An attractive certificate of attendance will be mailed to trainees that participate in this exercise.
