Legal Liability in the Workplace

This course provides a practical introduction to legal liability in South African workplaces. It explains how employers, managers, supervisors, employees, and contractors can be held responsible when workplace duties are not met. Learners will examine health and safety obligations, negligence, employee misconduct, discrimination, incident reporting, and the steps organisations can take to reduce legal risk. By the end, participants will be able to recognise common liability risks, respond appropriately to incidents, and apply sound workplace practices.
