Klass Looch Associates
is the oldest specialised occupational health and safety (OHS) legal consultancy
in South Africa. It was established in 1986 by former occupational safety court
prosecutors with the aim of assisting employers in complying with the provisions
of OHS legislation and to represent employers, both corporate bodies and
managers, at OHS departmental inquiries or criminal prosecutions.
In keeping with this spirit, Klass
Looch Associates is proud to promote its innovative
Cyber Products and Services,
developed to make OHS legal advice and information for employers only a mouse
click away. Ideally suited for managers and OHS practitioners alike, it has
already attracted subscriptions from prestigious employers such as ABI, Anchor
Yeast, Cape Gate, Engen, Eskom, First National Battery, Huntsman Tioxide, Mageu
No. One, Nampak, Sappi, Standard Bank, Tanker Services,
Unilever, Lucite
International South Africa, Rand Refinery, Firstrand Bank, Plasserail, Columbus
Stainless.
Subscribers are furnished with a special password which allows access to a vast
array of blocked OHS information, ranging from OHS legal opinions to case
studies. The website also serves as an extensive news site, mixing local with
international OHS news and material. Constructed in February 2002, the website
has enjoyed phenomenal success and now boasts more than a million website hits.
In addition to the on-line services,
generous discounts ranging from 10% to 25%, depending on the category of
Subscription, are offered for legal opinions, representation and workshops.
Major changes are in the pipeline
with a draft new National Occupational Health & Safety Act being published for comment as early as 2006. Other
changes include various prescriptive sets of regulation such as the Construction
Regulations, promulgated on 18 July 2003, which place onerous duties on clients
as well as principal contactor and contractors. In this fluid OHS situation you
can do with a Cyber Advisor, whatever the nature of your business.
Klass Looch Associates is dedicated
to representing the OHS interests of employers in an often hostile (OHS
governmental) environment and will not entertain any queries which may be
construed as being prejudicial to the OHS interests of the employer (corporate
body or management). All on-line queries are confidential and legally
privileged. Hardcopies of all on-line queries are kept for scrutiny by the
employer.
Join the growing list of Subscribers
to this unique product and enjoy OHS peace of mind. This product will be
particularly useful when the OHS Act is revamped and brought into line with the
Mine Health & Safety Act, ultimately culminating in an entire new OHS Act.
(The National Occupational Health & Safety Act).
