Frequently Asked Questions
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with offices, construction, commercial and manufacturing businesses, as well as selected industrial environments, providing practical, site-specific Occupational Health & Safety compliance solutions.
Do small businesses need OHS documentation?
Yes. All employers in South Africa are required to comply with the Occupational Health & Safety Act, regardless of business size.
The extent of documentation depends on the size and risk profile of the workplace. Small, low-risk offices typically require simplified, relevant documentation rather than large industrial safety files.
We are based in the south of Johannesburg but offer flexible travelling options for any companies or sites located outside of local range.
Where are you based?
Do we need a Health & Safety Representative or Section 16 appointment?
Formal health and safety appointments depend on the size and nature of the business.
Small offices with few employees are generally not required to appoint a Health & Safety Representative or Section 16.2, but a designated safety contact person and first aid responsibility is considered good practice.
