A new study looks at how employers have responded to the Covid-19 crisis.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Prof Carin Runciman and Lynford Dor from the University of Johannesburg to talk about the results of their new study looking at how employers in SA have responded to the Covid-19 crisis.
As part of the key findings, Dor says companies that are still operating are largely failing to provide basic or adequate health and safety provisions. Out of 35 companies that are still operating, 30 had not provided personal protective equipment, 29 had not undertaken measures to ensure social distancing in the workplace, 28 had not provided transport to workers and 22 had not provided hand sanitiser.
