Construction Consulting

Quality Care

Construction is a high hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving building, alteration, repair, clearing of land or demolition of a structure, a bridge, a dam, a road etc. Your main priority for Improving construction safety may be to comply with safety and health regulations, but there are many other benefits such as identifying, reducing and eliminating construction related hazards on site. This is vital because safety hazards and incidents damage a company’s reputation and can incur huge financial cost for the business.

Do You Require A Safety File, A Safety Officer Or A Construction Safety Agent On Your Project? We have you covered!

So, if your job can be defined as “construction work”, the law requires you to have a site-specific health and safety file that must be available on site at all times. A safety file is a record of information focusing on the scope of work as well as the management of health and safety on construction sites for contractors and sub- contractors. It protects the employer from criminal or civil liability and proves compliance with the South African Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations. The law states that “no contractor will or should be allowed to access a construction site without an approved health and safety file compiled by a qualified and competent safety officer or safety team.”

Ok, so your work falls under “construction work”, what now?
