Does the provision on a safe working environment apply to all workplace?

Not to all workplaces. The safe working environment rules, like providing safety equipment, training, and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP),  primarily apply to:

  • Healthcare workplaces (hospitals, clinics, laboratories, blood banks, etc.) with 20 or more people; and
  • Other workplaces (offices, factories, etc.) with 100 or more people, but only if there is a significant risk of HIV exposure as part of the work.
