In a new report, law firm ENS Africa discusses whether employers are obligated to report and investigate incidents of occupational-acquired Covid-19, finding that it depends on the employees’ type of work.
ENS executives and authors of the report Willem le Roux, Pieter Colyn and Tyla Foster explain that, in terms of Section 11 of the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA), the employer is required to notify the Principal Inspector of Mines of any occurrence at the mine that results in the illness of any person.
