    The Compensation Fund recently signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with the Mangaung Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

    The memorandum provides:

    1. regular forums to discuss occupational health and COIDA related issues;
    2. improve visibility and access to COIDA services;
    3. platform to create awareness and educate stakeholders regarding COIDA services;
    4. to partner and participate with the Mangaung Chamber of Commerce & Industry on their annual calendar of events country wide; and
    5. to share available database in order to create awareness on COIDA compliance.

    The Compensation Fund is a public entity under the administration of Department of Labour.

    The Fund’s mandate is to administer the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act.

    The main objective of the Act is to provide compensation for disablement caused by occupational injuries or diseases sustained or contracted by workers, or for death resulting from such injuries or diseases, and provide for matters connected therewith.
