Explain 5 points why OHS legislation is critical in preventing incidents in this workplace.

(a) Two OSH laws directly relevant: 1. Factories, Offices and Shops Act, 1970 (Act 328) This Act requires employers to guard all dangerous machinery (e.g., sealing machine) to prevent access to moving parts (Sections 27-29) and maintain equipment in safe condition (poorly maintained equipment and negligent operation). 2. Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) Section 118 imposes a duty on employers to ensure safety, health, and welfare, including safe systems of work, proper maintenance of plant, and training to avoid accidents like negligent welding machine operation. (b) Four expected measures: 1. Install fixed guards on sealing and welding machines to prevent contact with hazardous parts. 2. Develop and enforce a preventive maintenance schedule with regular inspections of all equipment. 3. Provide safety training and certification for workers operating welding and sealing machines. 4. Conduct risk assessments, provide PPE (e.g., gloves, helmets), and establish accident reporting procedures.
