South Africa's regulations on physical agents at work under the OHS Act: consultation and training before exposure, duties of exposed persons and of equipment suppliers, a competent-person exposure risk assessment every 24 months, exposure monitoring, medical screening and surveillance with certificates of fitness, agent-specific controls and monitoring methods for cold stress, heat stress, illumination (including emergency lighting), indoor air quality, vibration and non-ionising radiation, the hierarchy of controls, personal protective equipment, maintenance and testing of controls and 40-year record keeping.
