How inspectors should conduct inspections under the OHSA
The recent Labour Court decision in Truworths Limited v The Chief Inspector: Occupational Health and Safety, Department of Employment and Labour and Another Case Number: J1597/21 has provided clarification on the authority of labour inspectors and the correct application of the “reasonably practicable” standard under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 (OHSA). The court’s decision considered whether inspectors issuing contravention notices were properly certified, and whether their interpretation of workplace seating requirements under the Facilities Regulations 2004 (Facilities Regulations) was legally sound. The court also clarified what is meant by an appeal in terms of section 35(3) of the OHSA and how a court should approach such an appeal where an aggrieved party challenges the findings of an inspector.

The Preservation and Development of Agricultural Land Bill: Where to next?
For decades, the primary piece of legislation influencing agricultural land development has been the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970 (Act). The Act was repealed by the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act Repeal Act 64 of 1998 (Repeal Act), however, more than 25 years later, the Repeal Act is yet to have come into full effect, and we remain primarily bound to the provisions of the Act. The aim of the Act is to prevent the fragmentation of agricultural land for the preservation of sustainable and economically viable farming activities by imposing regulations and procedures for the subdivision, control and development of such land.
