Occupational Health at Ekhaya Medical Centre

In the Secunda region, occupational health isn't optional — it's the law, and it's good business. Healthy workers are safer and more productive, while non-compliance with the OHS Act and Mine Health and Safety Act can trigger Section 54 stoppages, penalties and even personal director liability.

Ekhaya Medical Centre partners with mines, plants, contractors and SMEs to deliver structured, reliable workforce health services that protect your people and keep your operation compliant.

Whether you need a handful of pre-employment medicals or a full periodic-medical programme for hundreds of workers, our occupational health team handles it efficiently — with the clear, audit-ready reporting your safety department needs.

What this includes

  • Baseline, periodic and exit medicals
  • Fitness-for-duty assessments
  • Pre-employment medical screening
  • PDP medicals for drivers
  • Audiometry (hearing) screening
  • Vision and lung-function screening (as required)
  • Chest X-rays where indicated
  • Structured reporting for compliance

Why compliance matters — and what's at stake

The Mine Health and Safety Act and the OHS Act place a clear duty on employers to monitor worker health. A single Section 54 stoppage can cost an operation many thousands of rand a day, and unmanaged occupational disease exposes the business to COID claims, DMR penalties and director liability.

A proactive health partnership turns that risk into routine. It's not an expense — it's protection for your people, your production and your bottom line.
