SOUTH AFRICAN ENVIRONMENTAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPL ICABLE TO ISO 14001:2004

Introduction

The minimum legal requirements of ISO 14001 necessitate a commitment by the Organisation’s top management to comply with all the applicable environmental legislation. In order to implement this commitment, organisations must identify and have access to all applicable legal requirements. The relevance and application of the identified laws should also be understood and captured in the environmental management systems.

It follows that the legal requirements, together with the other elements of the environmental policy, must guide the organisations objectives and targets and environmental management programmes. It must also be incorporated into operational and monitoring procedures where appropriate.

The fragmentation of South Africa’s environmental legislation makes the isolation and interpretation of applicable legislation complex. Therefore, our legal training course has been designed to equip learners with a working knowledge of the most important South African environmental laws. The course also highlights the practical application of the law to the typical industrial and mining environment. The main objective of the course is to enable learners to identify and relate the applicable laws to their industries’ activities, products and services.

Environmental legal issues should be strategic priority of every Organisation. Therefore, personnel tasked with the implementation, management and evaluation of an environmental management system (EMS) effectively, they require an understanding of legal issues pertaining to EMS.

Note: The course focuses on obligations imposed by the respective act and regulations and not on philosophies underpinning the legislation.

COURSE OUTCOMES The course duration is five (5) days per module Course Outline : ISO 14001 and the environmental legal requirement s South African Environmental legal requirements related to:

• Personal liability for environmental offences in the workplace

• Air pollution control

• Water management

• Waste management

• Hazardous chemicals and substances (excluding dangerous goods transport)

• Environmental impact assessments

OHSAS 18001:2007 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (OHSMS)

Introduction

Organisations have a legal and social responsibility regarding the occupational health and safety of all employees in their working environment.

SOUTH AFRICAN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO 18001:2007

Introduction For personnel to implement, manage and evaluate an Occupational Health and Safety Management System effectively, they require an understanding of legal issues pertaining to an OHSMS. The employer has both a legal and moral duty to ensure that employees, the community and third parties are safeguarded as far as is reasonably practicable against occupational hazards and risk. The appropriate knowledge and understanding of legislation is essential for employees and management both from a common sense and a legal approach.

Note: The course focuses on obligations imposed by the respective Acts and Regulations of which personnel must have an understanding and not on philosophies underpinning the legislation.

Who should attend?

• Risk Managers; Safety Officers/Managers; System Coordinators; Occupational Health Practitioners; Senior Legal Appointees; Engineering Manager etc.

COURSE OUTCOMES The course duration is three (3) days per module

• Brief outline of the South African Legal system: legislature, different forms of liability for individuals

and organisations • Mine Health and Safety Act • Occupational Health and Safety Act • Contractor Management • OHSAS 18001: 2007 Risk and Legal Requirements • Basic Principles of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act • Basic Principles of the National Road Traffic Act • Basic Principles of the Hazardous Substances Act • Basic Principles of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act • Tobacco Products Control Act • Examination

SAATCA EXAMINATIONS Through the years we have established that the majority of our clients attend our courses to be able to conduct audits within their organisations as well as those that are interested in making auditing a career. These learners are afforded the opportunity to write a SAATCA accredited examinations.

After successful completion of SABS accredited Auditing courses, learners who wish to pursue a career as auditors and register with SAATCA, will need to pass the SABS auditing module with a 70% pass mark and thus, will be afforded the opportunity to write the external “SAATCA Board” examination at a SAATCA selected venue. These examinations must be written within 6 months after completion of the course. It is expected that learners have experience before they attempt to write this examinations and attain the 70% pass mark required for SAATCA entry level .

The SABS Training Academy examinations are currently SAATCA accredited and learners need to attain 70% or more to be eligible for application to SAATCA. SAATCA registration requirements need to be complied with as per the set SAATCA criteria. The duration of the SAATCA examinations is 2 hours. A learner will be offered only 1 opportunity to write the SAATCA with the SABS Training Academy. A certificate will be issued to indicate that the learner passed the SABS/SAATCA approved examinations.

The SAATCA will in the near future be designing and developing “SAATCA BOARD” examinations for registration of auditors. The SABS Training Academy can therefore not guarantee that their currently accredited examinations and certificates will enable future eligibility for application, as currently accepted by SAATCA. We are awaiting SAATCA directives and clarifications on the matter.

SANS 10216:2009 EVALUATION OF VEHICLE TEST STATIONS

Introduction

The number of tragic accidents experienced by South Africans justifies the stipulation by the Department of Transport, which requires Vehicle Test Stations to comply with certain regulatory requirements, one of these being SANS 10216. Both the Road Traffic Act Authority and the customer need the assurance that the vehicle test station authority possesses an adequate level of competency, impartiality and integrity. When in compliance with the requirements of SANS 10216, consistency in vehicle testing and inspection services could be assured on a national basis.

SANS 10330:2007 HACCP SYSTEMS

Introduction

Within the food and drink industry, HACCP is a well-known technique used to analyze potential food safety hazards in an operation. It assists in identifying where these may occur and also in evaluating which are more critical to consumer safety. The increasing demand for control of food and drink processes has resulted in companies worldwide introducing and maintaining HACCP systems. This course is designed to enable learners to understand, implement and maintain HACCP systems based on SANS 10330: “The implementation and management of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system”. The system ensures that companies produce food and drinks that are safe for human consumption.

SANS 10049:2011 FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT - REQUIREMENTS FOR PREREQUISITE PROGRAMMES (PRPs)

PREREQUISITE PROGRAMMES ON FOOD SAFETY FOR FOOD MANUFACTURING (SANS 10049) is a standard prepared by the South African Bureau of Standards to specify the requirements for prerequisite programmes to assist in controlling food safety hazards. The intention is that the standard be used independently or in conjunction with SANS/ISO 22000 or SANS 10330 to support management systems to meet requirements with regard to prerequisite programmes. Prerequisite programmes are the basic conditions and activities that are necessary to maintain a hygienic environment throughout the food chain suitable for the production, handling, storage and distribution of safe food products. Prerequisite programmes therefore assist in preventing and controlling the likelihood of introducing food safety hazards such as biological, chemical or physical in the product or processing environment. Duration of Modules : The course duration is five (5) days COURSE OUTCOMES Module 1 : Understanding SANS 10330

• Introduction to SANS 10330 • Documentation Requirements • Management Responsibility • Prerequisite Programme Requirements • Realization of PRPs • Control of non-conformities • Practical Exercises and Examination
