Strengthening Social Protection
Number of workplaces audited to
determine their compliance levels in terms of Occupational Health and
Safety Legislation
Given the increase in number of inspections done (15.9%) it was impossible for inspectors to audit the places as planned as more resources had to be utilised to meet the extra demand else where
Increase advocacy sessions with employers to ensure compliance
Number of noncomplying workplaces to of those audited dealt with in terms of the relevant enforcement
regime (OHS legislation)
The target could not be reached due:
Some of the notices issued were still within the period
The increase in demand made it impossible to go back and do more follow-up inspections
Increase advocacy sessions with employers to minimise non-compliance

Between 2009/10 and 2012/13 financial years, there has been a decrease in number of planned performance indicators. The decrease, however, is not positively linked to actual performance i.r.o the actual achievement of indicators.

43. Conclusion
We have in the Financial Year 2012/13 tried to improve our strategic plan and Annual Performance Plan with a View to Ensure that they are aligned to the SMART Principle.
We have done this with the Assistance of the National Treasury Technical Advisory Unit.
We are still of the view that there is still more work to be done around this area that should assist in ensuring that our work is measurable.

44. Conclusion Cont..
We have further engaged in a number of Change Management Programmes with a View to Improve our Service Delivery Environment.
The Change Management Programmes are managed under the Shanduka Project Umbrella and will assist in ensuring that we change for the best.
The Department has again received another Award from SAIGA, which is the second Award in a space of Three Years.
The Awards from SAIGA are part of the outcomes and fruits of some of these change initiatives.

45. Conclusion Cont..
We will keep on striving to improve our level of performance against predetermined objectives, targets as well as Service Delivery.

46. Thank You…
