  12. Malawi Inc. Malawi Inc. Calla van Dyk – Die ingenieur en die Wet

  13. Malawi Inc. Inleiding • verhoging in die standaard van gesondheid en veiligheid • ECSA verplig ingenieurs om te registreer Die rol van die geregistreede ingenieur: • 1)Beskerm mense in die werkplek 2)verseker veilige werksomstandighede 3)moedig disipline in fabriek aan om veiligheidsonthalwe 4)kyk dat gereedskap en masjienerie veilig en korrek werk

  14. Malawi Inc. Inleiding(vervolg) • hoof uitvoerende direkteur Die geregistreerde ingenieur is gelisensieerd tot Twee disiplinêre meganismes: 1)optrede in die hof onder die relavante wet 2)disiplinêre samewerking met ECSA • wet versprei die verantwoordelikheid

  15. Malawi Inc. ‘n Paar elektriese masjienerie regulasies • beskermende uitrusting • energiebronne • skakelborde • aarding – 50volt • vry ruimtes van kraglyne

  16. Malawi Inc. Die elektriese installasie regulasies Wat is ‘n geakkrediteerde persoon: • ‘n elektriese toetser vir enkelfase • installasie-elektrisiën • ‘n meester-installasie-elektrisiën • installasie korrek – sertifikaat van nakoming • artikel 37 – lasnemer

  17. Malawi Inc. Elektriese installasie regulasies(vervolg) • verandering aan installasie • installasie van meerfasige toevoer Aansoek om registrasie as ‘n geakkrediteerde persoon Persoon word op volgende beoordeel: • Ondervinding • teoretiese kwalifikasie • kwalifikasie in veiligheidstandaarde

  18. Malawi Inc. Elektriese installasie regulasies(vervolg) • ‘n registrasiesertifikaat kos R75 Hoofinspekteer kan sertifikaat kanselleer: 1)uitwissing of wysiging 2)growwe nalatigheid 3)versuim om bepalings van regulasie na te kom • kan na nywerheidshof appèl aanteken (artikel35)

  19. Malawi Inc. Opsomming • groot verantwoordelikheid • klem verskuif na toesiening Take van geregistreerde Ingenieurs: • verseker gesondheid en veiligheid • verantwoordelik vir werking en onderhouding

  21. Malawi Inc. Gevalle Studie 1 • Werknemer : Elektrisiën, Desmond, wat substasies diens. • Werkgewer : `n Energie Maatskapy wat baie baie veiligheidsbewus is. • Desmond word uitgeroep vir `n werk, maar laat na om al die detail uit te vind. • As gevolg hiervan is die leer wat hy gebring het te kort

  22. Malawi Inc. • Desmond het 2 opsies • Gaan haal `n langer leer • Laat leer op stroombaanbreker toerusting staan sodat dit lank genoeg kan wees • Nadele van Desmond se opsies • Moet terug ry vir `n langer leer • Leer staan naby `n 33kV spanningslyn • Desmond kies opsie 2, want hy het nie sy werk oordentlik gedoen nie. • Hy veroorsaak oorvonking terwyl hy werk en doen beserings op.

  23. Malawi Inc. • Wie is verantwoordelik? • Seksie (14 a) van die Beroeps Gesondheid en Veiligheids Wet van 1993 vereis dat `n werknemer ten alle tye sy eie veiligheid verseker. • Desmond is skuldig bevind en beboet.

  24. Malawi Inc. Gevalle Studie 2 • Werknemer moet vlekvryestaal dromme oopsny • Werkgewer - `n Klein Ingenieurs besigheid - Laat na om werknemer te waarsku of in te lig oor gevare. • Ontploffing veroorsaak derde graadse brandwonde.

  25. Malawi Inc. • Wie is skuldig? • Seksie (8.2 e) en (13) vereis dat informasie oor gevaar situasies aan werknemers verskaf moet word. • Seksie (8.1) vereis dat die besigheid moet kan verseker dat werknemers nie aan gevaarlike situasies blootgestel word nie. • Besigheid skuldig bevind en beboet.
