What does 12 require?

The employer or self-employed person eliminates at source, where reasonably practicable, the risk from biological, chemical and physical hazards that affect indoor air quality and otherwise controls indoor air quality to the guidance levels of Table 3 by natural ventilation or an artificial ventilation system. An artificial system complies with the air requirements for the occupancy type in SANS 10400 Part O, is tested by a competent person at the manufacturer's intervals and at least every 24 months, and is maintained to the manufacturer's specifications or, absent them, to the risk assessment. Monitoring addresses the Table 3 parameters: the thermal environment (air temperature, air velocity and relative humidity), airborne contaminants (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, other applicable hazardous chemical agents, mould and other biological agents) and the air requirements for the occupancy type.

Other controls in Regulations 9 to 14: Agent-specific requirements for cold stress, heat stress, illumination, indoor air quality, vibration and non-ionising radiation – South Africa Physical Agents Regulations 2024

10 Heat stress: eliminated at source where practicable; at the action level identify why and review controls; at or above the OEL apply alternative methods, plant, maintenance, layout and rest facility review, review of assessment, monitoring, screening, surveillance and controls, exposure limits, acclimatisation, heat-specific first aid, sufficient potable water and protective clothing with the Table 9 adjustment; monitoring to SANS 7243
11 Illumination: natural or artificial light meeting the minimum maintained average illuminance of Tables 4 to 7 with glare, uniformity, flicker and stroboscopic effect controlled, specialised lighting for hazardous and precision tasks, emergency lighting at the prescribed lux levels and activation times mounted and tested three-monthly, an illumination measurement programme to SANS 10114-1, 10389-1 and 10114-2 at least every 24 months with an action plan, maintenance of luminaires and windows, building work lighting and SANS 10400 Part O windows
13 Vibration: hand-arm and whole-body vibration eliminated at source where practicable; at the action level identify why and review controls; at or above the OEL apply alternative methods, low-vibration plant, maintenance, layout and rest facility review, review of assessment, monitoring, screening, surveillance and controls, exposure limits and protective clothing against cold and damp; monitoring to SANS 2631 for whole-body and the prescribed axis, cycle, hand and season rules for hand-arm vibration
14 Occupational non-ionising radiation: eliminated at source where practicable; at or above the Tables 1 and 2 OEL apply alternative methods, plant producing the least radiation, maintenance, layout review, review of assessment, monitoring, screening, surveillance and controls, exposure limits and PPE; monitoring by source and type; and Annexure 1 signage at identified sources and areas interfering with biomedical devices
9 Cold stress: eliminated at source where practicable; otherwise alternative methods, plant designed to reduce cold stress, maintenance, review of layout and rest facilities, review of the assessment, monitoring, screening, surveillance and controls, exposure durations within Table 8 and dry insulated whole-body protective clothing; monitoring over at least four hours in the coldest part of the shift and year using chill temperature
