Paraffin Safety Association of Southern Africa The Paraffin Safety Association of Southern Africa (also known as PASASA) is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to ensuring the safe use of paraffin in the domestic environment. PASASA was founded in 1996 by the petroleum industry of South Africa as a response to high incidents of paraffin incidents and poisoning amongst children at that time. PASASA is headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa and has offices in Durban, King William’ Town and Pretoria, South Africa. The goal of Paraffin Safety Association of Southern Africa is three-fold: 1. Provide training and educational material to paraffin users though a network of partnerships. These include NGOs community groups, emergency and healthcare workers, herbalists or any other group or individual who can effectively disseminate safety information. It has trained a corps of master trainers who will train and provide educational material in 11 official languages to these community partners. 2. Work with industry, regulatory organisations and other bodies to set safety standards and lobbying government to have these made mandatory. Now that government has gazetted legislation on stove standards, the Paraffin Safety Association is focussing on packaging standards to ensure paraffin is sold in clearly marked, childproof containers. 3. Compile a knowledge base about the domestic use of paraffin and its consequences by conducting incidence surveillance, research, and collating and interpreting all available information.
