• Inspections and audits of all important work and safety health requirements.
• Information on occupational hygiene teams, to identify and assess all hazards and risks at your company.
• Health and safety in the mining and construction arenas.

The annual Saiosh conference and the InFiRES workshop

More details can be found on their website (www.saiosh.co.za).
