Asbestos

The Asbestos Abatement Regulations require employers to provide and maintain, as far as is reasonably practicable, a safe working environment which is without risks to employees’ health.

South Africa has now terminated the utilization of asbestos which will greatly improve the environment and lead to fewer health problems related to asbestos.

Since South Africa banned the importation and exportation of asbestos, as well as the use and manufacturing of the mineral in 2008, many businesses have struggled to get completely rid of certain asbestos-containing material.
