Health MEC reveals unsafe Gauteng hospitals
20 April 2017
All Gauteng health facilities inspected by the Department of Labour for bio-hazard and other safety issues in the last three years have failed to meet the required standard.
This is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
According to Ramokgopa, the Department of Labour has conducted various audits, inspections and investigations covering hazardous biological agents, construction compliance, noise measurements and occupational hazards.
She says: "All the audited facilities received either a non-compliance finding, such as a contravention and/or improvement compliance notice".
