By performing registration of plants, DOSHS is able to maintain installation and examination information on boilers, hoists and lifts, cranes and other lifting equipment, air receivers, steam receivers, refrigeration plants, cylinders for compressed/liquefied gases. A client is expected to apply for the registration of a plant. This is done using the following forms: DOSHS 20.

The client performs a self-assessment of their plant. Once filled, the forms are sent to the Technical Officer at DOSHS headquarters. If the forms are properly filled, the officer requests the client to pay the Registration Fee and the OSH Levy.

If the forms are wrongly filled, have missing details, or mismatched entries, they are sent back to the client for corrections. Once the client pays the requisite fees, the forms are forwarded to the DOSHS headquarters in Nairobi. When received at the headquarters from the counties, the forms are checked at the central registry. This is followed by the printing of the certificate, which is sent to the director for signing.

It is signed and sealed and forwarded to the registry for dispatch to the client. Workplace Registration Process flow DOSHS Approvals and Registration of Approved Persons and Institution.

This helps in the recruitment and certification of competent persons and institutions for provision of DOSHS prescribed services. The approved persons include Occupational Safety and Health Advisers, Fire Safety Auditors, Air Quality Monitors, Plant Examiners, Designated Health Practitioners, and Engineering Control Examiners. At the start of the process, DOSHS meets to determine the need to recruit and certify competent persons and institutions. If a need exists, DOSHS places an advert in the local newspapers.

This opens the recruitment process, which has a deadline. Applicants pay an application fee against their applications. DOSHS creates a shortlist from the application for oral and written interviews. Successful candidates are required to pay an amount for the induction. Candidates that make this payment are taken through the induction and initial training.

They are added to the list of approved persons and institutions.
