The official, who made the remarks at an event to commemorate World Day for Safety and Health at Work in Windhoek, said it takes a well-structured system to have a safety and health program where accidents and injury rate is close to zero.<\/p>\n

Ndemula said the country\u2019s National Occupational Safety and Health Policy has been adopted to develop an occupational safety and health preventative culture framework, and minimize accidents and injuries arising from or occurring in the course of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Occupational Safety and Health Management System allows for systematic identification of hazards and risk, implementation of measures to minimize the risk exposure, effective communication, prevention of accidents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He challenged employers to implement occupational safety and health management system to minimize work-related accidents and diseases.<\/p>\n
