The Prevention Programme is available to all members in the Metals class free of charge, as a value-added offering, with the end goal being adherence to health and safety best practice.

We believe that the prevention of injuries and diseases at work is crucial, and it is for this reason that RMA has implemented the Prevention Programme that aims at reducing occupational injuries and diseases in the workplace. At its core the programme aims to ensure that employees are able to return home and safely every day.

To achieve a successful and effective Prevention Programme we endeavour to partner with our key stakeholders in the Occupational Health and Safety value chain to ensure that we meet the specific provisions detailed in the COID Act.

Our Value Proposition

Our Prevention Programme is premised on partnering with employers, employees, unions to reduce occupational incidents through an offering of a blend of OHS and financial wellness solutions that improve employee safety, reduce the severity of injuries and reduce the debt burden of employees.

As Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases (COID) administrators we abide by the COID Act which has specific provisions that require RMA to implement an effective prevention programme. The programme should be such that it is designed to reduce occupational injuries and disease in the workplace.

Having this programme in place ensures a beneficial partnership for RMA and its clients that is not only about compensation but also about assisting our clients in preventing work-related accidents and injuries and promoting the safety of employees.

Why the Prevention Programme

We believe that prevention for injuries and diseases at work is crucial to contribute to enhanced employee productivity for employers but more importantly to improve the health and safety of employees too.

We are introducing the Prevention Programme in support of employers’ existing initiatives for the benefit of their employees. The programme will be driven by the provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act No.85 of 1993.

In addition, the COID Act No. 130 of 1993 has specific provisions that require RMA to implement an effective Prevention Programme that reduces occupational injuries and disease in the workplace.

We believe that to achieve a successful and effective Prevention Programme requires the involvement of all the key stakeholders in the Occupational Health and Safety value chain.
