Thero Services stood at the forefront of ensuring Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance across nine hospitals within Gauteng Province, acting upon the directive of the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (GDID). Among the hospitals benefiting from Thero Services' expertise were Bheki Mlangeni District Hospital. Drawing upon a deep understanding of South African OHS legislation, international standards, and the specific Infrastructure Unit Support Systems (IUSS) guidelines, Thero Services meticulously assessed each hospital's infrastructure. Their assessments pinpointed areas of concern, leading to the implementation of tailored measures aimed at bolstering safety protocols. From scrutinizing general wards to optimizing storage facilities and sanitation practices, Thero Services left no stone unturned in ensuring that all facets of hospital operations aligned with regulatory mandates, thereby safeguarding the well-being of both staff and patients.
Furthermore, Thero Services assumed responsibility for building and infrastructure compliance, addressing critical aspects such as adherence to building codes, structural integrity, and accessibility standards. Through close collaboration with the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development, Thero Services devised and implemented customized solutions to rectify any identified infrastructural deficiencies. This proactive stance not only ensured compliance with local and international regulations but also bolstered the resilience and operational efficiency of hospital facilities. Ultimately, these efforts enhanced the capacity of hospitals to provide quality healthcare services to the community, thereby reinforcing their role as vital healthcare providers within the region.
