Built for South Africa's High-Risk Industries

ISO 45001 is mandatory for suppliers to major South African mining houses, construction groups, and manufacturing conglomerates. SHEQ24 is engineered for the specific hazard profiles of these environments.

Mining & Extraction

MHSA compliance integration, stope inspection workflows, fall-of-ground risk assessments, and mandatory Mine Health & Safety Act reporting.

Construction & Civil

CIDB contractor vetting, scaffold inspection registers, permit-to-work systems, and Section 37.2 principal contractor safety file management.

Manufacturing & Engineering

GMR2 engineering appointments, pressure vessel statutory inspections, machine guarding audits, and COID Annexure 1 auto-generation.

Zero Compromise OHS Workflows

Engineered specifically for the harsh realities of South African mining, construction, and manufacturing environments.

Dynamic HIRA

Baseline, issue-based, and continuous risk assessments managed dynamically for specific operational contexts — not static Excel sheets updated once a year.

Incident & COID Reporting

Log injuries on duty (IOD) instantly from the frontline. The system generates OHS Act Annexure 1 reports automatically for Compensation Fund submission within the seven-day deadline.

Contractor Management (Sec 37.2)

Principal contractors upload their mandatory safety files directly to the portal for your vetting before they touch a spanner on site. Expired documents automatically block site access.

Legal Appointments

Track 16(1), 16(2), and 8.2 appointments with automated expiry alerts and legally binding digital acknowledgement signatures. GMR2 appointments for engineering environments included.

Occupational Health Surveillance

Securely track entry, periodic, and exit medicals. Ensure operators are physically certified for high-risk work via POPIA-compliant field-level encryption.
