This is in addition to the original guidelines on Workplace Preparedness that were issued on 17 March 2020.

The purpose of this directive is to stipulate measures that must be taken by employers in order to protect the health and safety of workers and members of the public who enter their workplaces or are exposed to their working activities.

This Directive applies to employers and workers in respect of:

• the manufacturing, supply or provision of essential goods or essential services, as defined in Schedule 2 of the Regulations issued in terms of section 27(2) of the Disaster Management Act;
• any workplace permitted to continue or commence operations before the expiry of those Regulations.

Employers with less than 10 employees need only apply the measures set out in clause 40 of this Directive.

This directive remains in force for as long as the declaration of a national disaster published in Government Gazette 43096 on 15 March 2020 remains in force.
