HEALTH AND SAFETY

Ensuring a safe and healthy work environment is of paramount importance at U-RENT. Our team of Fire Fighters, First-Aiders and SHE representatives are committed to adhering to the highest health and safety standards to protect the well-being of our employees, visitors, and stakeholders.

At U-RENT a comprehensive approach to health and safety encompasses several key aspects:

Risk Assessment and Management

Identifying potential hazards and assessing risks associated with various tasks and processes. This involves evaluating the likelihood of incidents and their potential impact on employees and the company.

Health and Safety Policies

Developing and implementing clear and well-defined health and safety policies that outline the company's commitment to maintaining a safe work environment. These policies are communicated to all employees.

Training and Education

Providing regular training sessions and workshops to educate employees about safety procedures, emergency protocols, and the proper use of equipment. This ensures that everyone is aware of potential risks and knows how to respond appropriately.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Ensuring that employees have access to the necessary PPE, such as helmets, gloves, masks, and goggles, to protect themselves from specific workplace hazards.

Emergency Preparedness

Establishing plans and procedures for responding to emergencies, such as fires, natural disasters, or medical incidents. Conducting drills to ensure everyone knows their roles and responsibilities during such events.

Reporting and Incident Investigation

Implementing a system for reporting near misses, accidents, and incidents promptly. Conducting thorough investigations to determine the root causes and implementing corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.

Health Surveillance

Monitoring the health of employees who may be exposed to hazardous substances or conditions, and conducting regular medical check-ups to identify and address potential health issues.

Employee Involvement

Encouraging employees to actively participate in identifying safety concerns, suggesting improvements, and fostering a culture where safety is a shared responsibility.

Compliance with Regulations

Staying up-to-date with relevant health and safety laws and regulations in South Africa, and ensuring that the company operates in full compliance with these standards.

Workplace Ergonomics

Ensuring that workstations and equipment are designed in a way that promotes ergonomic comfort and reduces the risk of injuries caused by repetitive tasks or poor posture.

Continuous Improvement

Regularly reviewing and updating health and safety policies and procedures based on new information, feedback, and lessons learned.

Contractor Safety

Extending safety requirements to contractors and subcontractors who work on company premises, ensuring they adhere to the same health and safety standards.

By addressing these aspects, U-RENT can create a holistic health and safety framework that prioritises the well-being of its workforce and minimises the potential for accidents and injuries
