Our Services: Expert Compliance, Built Around You

At SHEQ4SME, we deliver tailored health and safety solutions that meet the highest standards—backed by legislation, best practices, and decades of combined experience. Our services are designed to help you operate legally, efficiently, and safely, starting with your most critical compliance tool: The Safety File.

Your gateway to site access and legal compliance.
We specialise in compiling project-specific, audit-ready safety files that comply with the South African OHS Act, Construction Regulations, and client specifications. Each file is built using our Safety File Accelerator™ Method, ensuring your documentation is professional, complete, and approved fast—no delays, no rejections.

Our safety file services include:

• Site-specific risk assessments and method statements
   
• Legal appointments and registers
   
• Induction and training records
   
• Emergency procedures
   
• Toolbox talk records
   
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) checklists
   
• Contractor compliance documentation
   
• File reviews and updates
   

Proactive inspections to identify gaps and prevent incidents.
Our audits benchmark your workplace against legal requirements and ISO 45001 standards. We provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations to close compliance gaps and avoid costly penalties or shutdowns.

We provide regular or once-off on-site inspections, ensuring daily compliance and safety performance. Non-conformances are flagged and corrected before they become liabilities.

We develop tailored risk assessments and safe work procedures for your specific tasks and site conditions—designed to meet both legal requirements and operational realities.

We write or upgrade your Safety, Health, Environmental, and Quality policies in alignment with:

• ISO 9001: Quality Management
   
• ISO 14001: Environmental Management
   
• ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management
   

We assist clients in vetting and managing contractors to ensure they meet health and safety requirements before arriving on-site—protecting you from legal liability.

We provide training, mentoring, and documentation for statutory legal appointments (e.g., CR7(1), GMR 2(1), First Aider, Safety Officer). This includes training on:

• Hazard identification
   
• Incident reporting
   
• Fire safety
   
• Toolbox talks
   
• Compliance responsibilities
   

From fire drills to evacuation procedures, we prepare your business for the unexpected. We assist in writing and testing emergency plans, aligned with site risks and legislation.

Non-Compliance Costs More Than Money—It Damages Reputations. We Protect Both.

Your reputation is one of your most valuable business assets—more enduring than profit, and harder to restore once lost. At SHEQ4SME, we understand this truth. That’s why we don’t just create safety files—we safeguard your credibility.

Why risk your company’s future by handing your legal compliance over to unqualified providers? Cutting corners to save costs today can lead to fines, shutdowns, and reputational damage tomorrow.

We are internationally certified and professionally qualified to protect your compliance and reputation. Our expertise is proven, our standards are unmatched, and our results speak for themselves.

Don’t gamble with your reputation. Choose SHEQ4SME—the trusted authority in safety compliance files.

At SHEQ4SME, we don’t just deliver compliance—we defend your business like it's our own.

Our experts work alongside business leaders who refuse to cut corners on safety. They understand that protecting lives, operations, and reputations is non-negotiable. These are professionals who value expertise over excuses and long-term peace of mind over short-term savings.

We've seen what happens when companies gamble with safety. We've been on sites where competitors were removed by authorities for non-compliance—costing clients millions in lost contracts and triggering shutdowns by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR). All because someone tried to save money on proper safety planning.

We don’t tolerate that. We’ve even walked away from clients who refused to meet the standard—only to later hear of injuries, fines, and cancelled deals.

At Safety Files, we set the bar high so your company can rise above reproach. When you partner with us, you gain more than a safety file—you gain a shield for your business and a standard your competitors can’t match.

Many contractors make the critical mistake of thinking a safety file is just paperwork—something anyone with a laptop and printer can throw together. But when things go wrong, that assumption can cost you everything.

If your file is not prepared by a SACPCMP-registered professional, you're exposing your business to massive risk. We've seen it firsthand: shortcut files pulled from the internet, filled with generic content that trained safety officers can spot in minutes. The result? Immediate rejection, site shutdowns, and, in worst-case scenarios, serious injuries or fatalities.

And when that happens, you will be held accountable.

We’ve witnessed companies trying to bribe their way out of non-compliance—some paying as much as R750,000 just to stay afloat. That’s not just bad business. It’s reckless.

At Safety Files, we do things differently.

We build investment-grade safety files—professionally structured, regulation-compliant, and ready for any audit. Our Safety File Accelerator™ Method ensures every file is crafted to the highest standards, making it enterprise-ready and legally sound.

Built by Experts. Backed by Standards.
Don’t leave your business exposed—choose the safety file specialists who protect your operations, your people, and your reputation.

In today’s high-risk business environment, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why smart companies rely on qualified Safety Consultants to protect their workforce, ensure compliance, and reduce costly liabilities.

Under South Africa’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act, Safety Consultants play a vital role in ensuring all health and safety measures meet national legal standards. To deliver these services legally and competently, consultants must be registered with the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP). This registration is not just a formality—it guarantees that the consultant is qualified, experienced, and accountable to regulatory standards.

Hiring a SACPCMP-registered safety consultant is an investment that pays for itself. From preventing site shutdowns and avoiding penalties, to building a reputation for professionalism and keeping your team safe—expert guidance doesn’t cost you money, it saves you from losing it.

Trust certified professionals to manage your compliance—because when it comes to safety, there’s no room for shortcuts.
