Common Questions
What is DOSH and why is it important?
DOSH (Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services) is the regulatory body in Kenya ensuring workplace safety. Compliance is mandatory by law to avoid penalties and, more importantly, to protect your employees from harm.
Do I need a safety officer on site?
Yes, under OSHA 2007, construction sites with more than 20 workers must have a registered safety supervisor to oversee daily safety operations.
What is involved in a Fire Risk Assessment?
It involves identifying fire hazards, people at risk, evaluating current fire safety measures (alarms, extinguishers, exits), and recommending improvements.
How often should safety audits be conducted?
Statutory safety audits are required annually. However, internal inspections should be continuous, with formal reviews at least every quarter.
