SHEQ, OHS and ISO questions, answered.

A SHEQ consultant helps a business manage safety, health, environment and quality. In practice that means reviewing current practice against legal and standards requirements, carrying out risk assessments and audits, preparing or improving documentation such as policies, procedures and safety files, supporting training, helping investigate incidents and guiding management on priorities. UBUNYE Safety & Compliance provides SHEQ consulting for South African businesses.

Employers can get OHS compliance help from SHEQ consultants and occupational health and safety practitioners. UBUNYE Safety & Compliance provides OHS compliance support for South African industrial and corporate businesses, including compliance reviews, gap identification, documentation support and corrective action planning against the Occupational Health and Safety Act and related requirements.

An OHS audit is a structured, evidence-based review of a workplace against occupational health and safety requirements. It looks at documents, workplace conditions and day-to-day practice, and produces findings with recommended actions. It helps management see where the business complies, where it does not and what to fix first.

UBUNYE Safety & Compliance provides ISO 45001 support, along with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 support. That includes gap analysis, documentation, implementation guidance and readiness preparation. Certification is awarded by an independent certification body, so UBUNYE helps your business prepare for assessment rather than issuing the certificate.

Workplace risk assessments are carried out by competent SHEQ and OHS practitioners. UBUNYE Safety & Compliance carries out risk assessments for South African businesses, covering hazard identification, risk rating, recommended controls and a written record that management can use and review.

A safety file, or health and safety file, is an organised collection of documents showing how health and safety is managed in a business or on a project. It usually includes policies, appointments, risk assessments, safe work procedures, training and inspection records and incident records. What belongs in it depends on the operation, the client and the regulations that apply.

A SHEQ consultant can review, compile and organise a safety file. UBUNYE Safety & Compliance helps South African businesses prepare and review safety files by checking existing documents, identifying gaps, compiling the documentation within the agreed scope and advising on how to keep it current.

UBUNYE Safety & Compliance provides SHEQ and safety training support for South African businesses. Training is planned around your workforce, your risks and your operation. Course content, duration, format and any assessment or certificate requirements are agreed with you before training begins.

A business usually needs ongoing SHEQ support when compliance cannot be handled through occasional projects. Common triggers include a growing workforce, more contractors or sites, an ISO system that needs maintaining, regular audits, no full-time SHEQ person, or findings from an audit or incident that need to be worked through. UBUNYE Safety & Compliance offers SHEQ retainer support for these situations.
