Frequently Asked Questions

Pro Safety doesn’t consult from the sidelines. We work alongside you as your complete Health & Safety Division. While traditional consultants tell you what’s wrong and leave, we partner with your team to handle the full compliance burden so you can focus on your production and service strengths. Our structured team of SACPCMP-registered professionals, dedicated coordinators, and administrative specialists advises and supports rather than dictates. You get this entire OHS department for less than the cost of a single full-time safety officer.

Our three departments work as a single unit. Registered Professionals handle strategy, compliance audits, and client liaison. Dedicated Coordinators manage day-to-day on-site safety operations, inspections, and training. Administrative Specialists handle documentation, record keeping, and reporting. This structure ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Yes. Our registered professionals are registered with the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP), and we are members of the South African Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (SAIOSH). This ensures all our OHS services meet the highest professional and legal standards.

We work across construction, mining, manufacturing, and service contracting. This cross-industry experience means we bring best practices from each sector to your operations. Mining-grade hazard identification applied to construction sites, facility management systems adapted for contractor operations. This breadth of knowledge makes our safety solutions more robust and comprehensive.

After an initial consultation and gap analysis, we can typically deploy a safety team within days. Our established systems and processes mean we don’t need to build from scratch. We adapt our proven frameworks to your specific industry and site requirements. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your timeline.

We work with businesses of all sizes. Our team-based model is actually especially advantageous for small and medium businesses, because you get access to registered professionals, coordinators, and admin support that would be impossible to afford as individual hires. Our economical pricing through shared overhead makes comprehensive OHS accessible to businesses that couldn’t otherwise afford a full safety department.

A construction safety file includes baseline risk assessments, site-specific safety plans, emergency procedures, fall protection plans, scaffolding and excavation procedures, hazardous chemical management protocols, contractor management documentation, and all required legal appointments. Pro Safety compiles, maintains, and updates these files throughout the project lifecycle.

Construction Regulation 5 (CR-5) outlines the duties of clients who commission construction work, including appointing competent agents and ensuring safety specifications. Construction Regulation 7 (CR-7) outlines the duties of contractors, including preparing safety plans and ensuring worker competency. Pro Safety helps both clients and contractors meet their respective obligations under the Construction Regulations.

Our registered professionals handle all Department of Labour interactions on your behalf. Because we maintain your compliance documentation continuously (not just before audits), your safety files and records are always audit-ready. Our team will be present during inspections, present documentation, address any findings, and implement corrective measures if required.

Yes. We provide comprehensive safety management for mining operations including regulatory compliance under the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA), hazard identification and risk management, safety culture programmes, training and competency development, incident investigation, and emergency preparedness. Our construction and manufacturing experience strengthens our mining safety solutions.

We provide SETA and SAQA accredited training programmes including Safety Induction Training, First Aid Level 1-3, Fire Prevention and Firefighting, Working at Heights, Scaffolding Safety, Hazardous Chemical Handling (HCS), SHE Representative Training, and Incident Investigation. All programmes include certification and our admin team tracks expiry dates for renewals.

Yes. Our training programmes are accredited through SETA (Sector Education and Training Authority) and aligned with SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) standards. Participants receive recognised certificates upon completion, and our admin team maintains records for audit purposes.

Our risk assessments include hazard identification surveys, risk rating and prioritisation using established matrices, control measure recommendations (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE), safe work procedure development, risk assessment registers, and ongoing monitoring programmes. We conduct baseline, issue-based, and continuous risk assessments as required by the OHS Act.

A Section 37(2) agreement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act is a mandatory agreement between a facility owner (mandator) and a contractor. It assigns OHS responsibilities and ensures both parties understand their safety obligations. Pro Safety manages the drafting, administration, and compliance monitoring of Section 37(2) agreements for manufacturing and facility clients.

Our contractor management programme includes contractor pre-qualification assessments, Section 37(2) agreement administration, contractor safety inductions, on-site monitoring and inspections, incident investigation and reporting, safety performance tracking, and compliance documentation management. This is particularly valuable for manufacturing and facility owners managing multiple contractors.

Facility owners are increasingly required to manage contractor safety under Section 37(2) of the OHS Act. As more services are outsourced, the number of contractors on-site grows, creating complex multi-contractor environments where safety management becomes critical. Pro Safety’s contractor management programme addresses this growing need with systematic pre-qualification, on-site monitoring, documentation management, and compliance tracking across all contractors.

We deploy area safety coordinators across your client sites to maintain consistent safety standards. Our centralised admin team manages all documentation and reporting from a single point, while our registered professionals handle client liaison and specification compliance. This ensures you meet every client’s safety requirements without duplication of effort.

Our complete OHS solution includes registered professionals, dedicated coordinators, and administrative support. It costs less than employing a single full-time safety officer. Because we serve multiple industries and clients, we share overhead costs, giving you access to a full safety team at a fraction of the cost of building an in-house department. Contact us for a free consultation and customised quote.

Our cross-industry service model means our systems, processes, admin infrastructure, and professional expertise are shared across multiple engagements. You benefit from shared overhead, no recruitment or training costs, no leave or benefits to manage, and immediate access to an established team with proven systems. This shared model keeps costs significantly lower than building an equivalent in-house capability.
