We helped Transnet meet regulatory standards and ensure a safe working environment

Project Impact:

Through this project, we were able to train 54,453 individuals.

Problem or Challenge:

Transnet needed to ensure that their employees and new recruits were fully trained in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance. They required a comprehensive training program that covered various health and safety protocols to meet regulatory standards and ensure a safe working environment. The primary objective of this comprehensive health and safety training program was to enhance employee safety and well-being, reduce incident rates and severity, foster a proactive safety culture, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. By achieving these goals, the organization aimed to create a safer and healthier work environment, minimize risks, and promote a culture of safety excellence among its workforces.

Solution Provided:

Comprehensive Health and Safety Training Solution for Transnet

To mitigate risks in high-hazard operations, Transnet required specialized training for employees and new recruits. Our tailored solution focused on:

Health Compliance

1. Incident Management and Root Cause Analysis (effective response and investigation)
2. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA, proactive hazard mitigation)
3. Ergonomics (preventing musculoskeletal disorders and workplace injuries)
4. Safety, Health, and Environment Representative (SHE REP, championing OHS best practices and legislation)

Emergency Response

1. First Aid (Level 1-3, life-saving skills for medical emergencies)
2. Fire Fighting (basic to advanced, preventing and managing fire-related incidents)

 Workplace Safety

1. Working at Heights (safe practices, fall arrest, rescue, and protection)
2. Emergency Preparedness (planning for unexpected events, fire risk assessments)

Hazardous Materials Handling

1. Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Chemicals (safe handling and management)

Safety Management

1. SHE Liabilities (understanding legal responsibilities)
2. Safety for Management (strategic oversight and accountability)
3. Introduction to Safety Management (foundational principles and practices)
4. Advanced Safety Management (expert-level strategies and solutions)
5. Disaster Management (crisis preparedness, response, and recovery)

Our main objectives for the trainings were to:

1. Enhance Stakeholder Confidence (NEBOSH certification)
2. Improve Reputation (reduced accidents and incidents)
3. Easier Access to Finance (demonstrated safety records and compliance)
4. Seamless System Integration (ISO standards implementation)
5. Lower Insurance Premiums (reduced workplace accidents)
6. Effective Hazard Management (HIRA and Incident Investigation training)
7. Robust Performance Monitoring (ISO and NEBOSH courses)
8. Demonstrated Legal Compliance (OHS legislation and liability training)
9. Increased Productivity (Safety for Managers and Incident Investigation training)
10. Reduced Employee Absenteeism (First Aid, Fire Fighting, and OHS Act training)
11. Fostered Safety Culture (SHE Rep, Safety for Management, and Ergonomics training)

Training Outcome:

Transnet's workforce gained critical skills to identify, manage, and mitigate occupational hazards, ensuring a safer and healthier work environment.
