Sections 8, 13 and 14 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993. Workers in the retail industry face as many health hazards as people employed in jobs that are generally believed to be more dangerous. Retail jobs require repetitive motions, heavy lifting, long periods of standing and other hazards that can result in injury. Retail workers need to be aware of the risks they face on the job and how to avoid them.

Well I'm sure the act has emphasis on consumer risks as much as it has for employees. I'm a Construction worker who only understands construction regulations and fami**** with the act but not an expect. i would like to think when it comes to safety it does not matter what industry you come from.

So I would like to take this opportunity and share the experience that I went through today in Nonkqubela Shoprite in Khayelitsha mall. I was walking with my partner to the store to get some essentials and just before we could enter there was newspapers on the floor which did not bother me until i stepped on them only to find out that the was oil that was spilled while they had a boerewors campaign earlier in the day. I stepped and on what i thought was a newspaper but to my surprise that could have been the end of my life or I could have broken a spinal cord. I fell in a way that the people around the area had to rush to come assist me with getting up and make sure that I have not injured myself. This is probably the most incident that has happened in my career and would mention it in papers that I would still love to research in the future regarding the mitigation of risks in the retail industry.

I would like to get an email address from Shoprite so that I could share the details more thoroughly and share the pictures I've captured before I share it with the social media.

Can someone contact me on my email which is De********.
