South African Law places a heavy burden on business for the safety of visitors and employees and Advanced Conflict Training specialises in providing the commercial sector with customised Risk Management solutions.
Legislation, such as The Occupational Health and Safety Act’s, primary function is the protection of employees but, by extension, applies to all visitors. The act obliges employers to identify all risks in the workplace and implement appropriate safety measures. These measures are often non specific as the statute embraces all safety codes and authorities.
South African common law obliges operators to identify situations likely to cause harm to a Third Party. The application of this doctrine is that if a condition or situation is foreseeable and likely to cause “injury” it must be rectified. Given the elevated levels of crime most incidents could be regarded as foreseeable. Furthermore, as guests and patrons are invited by the operator to enjoy their facilities and services, for which payment is made, there is a greater duty of care owed to them.
The King 11 report requires all falling within its ambit, to conduct Risk Management and to act both with responsibility and accountability. The culmination of the above, places the operator in an onerous position to provide safety for their patrons. The position is exacerbated, if international patrons are involved, due their propensity to litigate and often their relatively personal high net worth.
