Workplace health, safety & OHSA support

Safer workplaces,
inspection-ready evidence.

With workplace inspections intensifying across South Africa, current evidence matters. We provide practical support—from safety files and HIRA to inspections, statutory signage, labour-audit readiness and workforce training.

Who this is for

For employers who need evidence that stands up to inspection.

  • Employers establishing, rebuilding or maintaining an OHSA safety file
  • Sites preparing for a Department of Employment and Labour inspection
  • Businesses needing workplace inspections, HIRA or corrective-action support
  • Organisations formalising appointments, signage, training and contractor controls

Valid safety-file essentials

A file must be current, site-specific and supported by what happens in the workplace.

For construction and project work, the safety file should match the client specification, scope and actual site risks. In other workplaces, the applicable OHS records must still be complete and ready for inspection—even when the document set is not formally called a contractor safety file.

Signed legal appointments with clear duties and responsible people

02

Baseline, issue-based and task-specific HIRA, with practical controls

03

Method statements, policies and safe-work procedures matched to the work

04

Induction, toolbox-talk, training and competency evidence

05

Current workplace, equipment, plant, PPE and statutory inspection registers

06

Emergency, fire, first-aid, incident and evacuation records

07

Contractor controls and Section 37(2) agreements where applicable

08

Medical fitness, COIDA and Letter of Good Standing evidence where applicable

09

Corrective actions, review dates, approvals and proof that controls are implemented

A downloaded template or once-off file is not enough. Inspection readiness depends on accurate records, implemented controls, responsible people who understand their roles and evidence that is kept current.

How we work

From workplace review to maintained safety evidence.

01

Inspect & audit

Walk the workplace, review current records and identify legal, operational and evidence gaps.

02

Assess risk

Complete or update HIRA and task-specific assessments, then prioritise practical controls.

03

Build & implement

Prepare the file, appointments, registers, signage plan and procedures, and brief responsible people.

04

Train & maintain

Deliver agreed training, prepare for labour inspections and keep the system current through reviews.

The correct programme depends on the workplace, sector, workforce and applicable regulations. Training, inspections and safety files support compliance but do not replace the employer's duties or specialist competent-person services where the law requires them.
