Company issued with prohibition notice for flouting health, safety regulations

The alleged flouting of various health and safety regulations, and non-reporting of a major and serious incident, has resulted in a prohibition notice being issued by Department of Employment and Labour (DEL) inspectors to Coega Steel, in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape. The discovery of noncompliance came to light after an occupational health and safety inspector received anonymous pictures of a Coega Steel employee with burns on their hands and face, resulting from an alleged explosion that took place at the employer’s furnace department, reportedly on August 22.
