Digital Audit Management Software
for South African Industry.
From ISO 45001 internal audits to OHS Act compliance inspections — SHEQ24 digitises the entire audit lifecycle. Conduct audits offline on remote sites, generate corrective action plans automatically, and produce the documented evidence your certification body requires.
End-to-End Audit Lifecycle Management
From audit planning through to corrective action closure — every step captured, tracked, and audit-ready for ISO certification bodies and DoL inspectors.
ISO 45001, 9001 & 14001 Audit Templates
Pre-built audit templates mapped directly to ISO 45001, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 clauses. Each question links to the specific clause requirement, ensuring your internal audits satisfy certification body expectations.
Offline Tablet Auditing
Download audit templates before entering the field. Complete the entire audit offline — photos, findings, corrective actions — and synchronise when connectivity is restored. Built for South African sites without reliable internet.
Automatic Corrective Action Generation
Every non-conformance and observation automatically generates a Corrective Action Request (CAR) assigned to the responsible person with a due date. The finding stays open until the corrective action is verified as effective.
OHS Act Compliance Audits
Conduct structured OHS Act compliance audits against the General Safety Regulations, Construction Regulations, and sector-specific regulations. Findings are linked to the specific regulatory requirement for legally defensible evidence.
Audit Performance Analytics
Track audit scores, non-conformance trends, and corrective action closure rates across sites and departments. Identify systemic compliance gaps before they become DoL enforcement actions or certification failures.
Immutable Audit Records
Every audit record is timestamped, linked to the auditor's profile, and tamper-evident. Produce a complete audit history for ISO certification bodies, DoL inspectors, or litigation in seconds.
The South African Audit Compliance Framework
ISO 45001 Clause 9.2 requires organisations to conduct internal audits at planned intervals to determine whether the OHS management system conforms to the organisation's own requirements and the requirements of the standard, and is effectively implemented and maintained. The audit programme must consider the importance of the processes concerned, changes affecting the organisation, and the results of previous audits.
For South African organisations, the audit obligation extends beyond ISO requirements. The Construction Regulations 2014 require principal contractors to conduct regular health and safety audits of their sites and to maintain records of these audits. The Mine Health and Safety Act requires mining operations to conduct systematic audits of their health and safety management systems. DoL inspectors conducting unannounced inspections will request evidence of recent internal audits and the corrective actions taken in response to audit findings.
SHEQ24's audit management module bridges the gap between ISO internal audit requirements and South African regulatory compliance audits. The same platform supports ISO 45001 Clause 9.2 internal audits, ISO 9001 quality management system audits, OHS Act compliance audits against specific regulations, and Construction Regulation site audits — with each audit type producing the specific documented evidence required by the relevant standard or regulation.
The corrective action management capability is particularly important for South African organisations. When a DoL inspector issues a contravention notice, the organisation must demonstrate that it has identified the root cause, implemented corrective action, and verified the effectiveness of that action. SHEQ24's closed-loop corrective action process produces exactly this evidence — transforming a potential enforcement action into a demonstration of systematic compliance management.
