EVIM Compliance
Manage your visitors responsibly...
Beyond the fact that The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) requires companies to keep a register of the entries and exits, it is good corporate governance to know at all times who is on you premises. Organisations have a responsibility to ensure high levels of safety and security at all times.
According to the POPI bill, organisations must secure personal information in their possession or under their control by taking appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent loss, damage and unauthorised processing of personal information, as well as unlawful access or use of such information.
Why should my business be POPI compliant?
POPI will have an impact on almost every company operating in South Africa. Much is done to manage and control the access of people you know. However, visitors are received on face value and allowed to enter the premises. Keeping an accurate register of these visitors minimises the risks criminality and accountability. Non-compliance can lead to harsh fines or even jail sentence.
