Quick answers
Do I legally need a safety officer?
The OHS Act makes every employer responsible for a safe workplace. On construction work, your client's H&S specification often requires a safety officer. A part-time officer is usually the practical middle ground.
How are you different from other safety companies?
You deal with one senior consultant, not a rotating junior: 20+ years in safety, risk and operations, with full P&L ownership of multi-site operations.
Where do you work?
On site across Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Documents, advice and reports are handled remotely nationwide.
Can I start small?
Yes. Many clients start with a compliance audit or a single risk assessment, then move to a monthly retainer.
Inspector coming? Incident on site?
Tell me what's going on. I'll tell you honestly what to do first.
