THE National Social Security Authority (NSSA) wants to be part of the Zimbabwe Investment Development Agency (ZIDA)’s one-stop-investor shop in order to induct foreign investors on occupational safety and health (OSH) requirements to reduce accidents and fatalities at the workplace.
The quest to induct foreign investors on the OHS legislative framework comes amid rising accidents and fatalities in the country, with the NSSA insisting that most accidents and fatalities are being swept under the carpet. Speaking at a business conference in the capital last week, NSSA director of OSH, Charles Shava said there is a need to compel investors to include safety plans in their proposals.
