The importance of safety adherence in the construction industry has been emphasized following recent building disasters in South Africa. The Department of Employment and Labour is committed to conducting detailed examinations and introducing necessary precautions to safeguard workers. The Ballito building disaster that took four lives has left a lasting impact on the community, and investigations have established a connection between the contractor managing the construction work and the owner of the private house. The government urges all employers to understand and adhere to health and safety laws to avoid the repetition of such tragic incidents.
