Professional safety audit services

An OHS audit, also called a health and safety audit or safety audit, ensures that the workplace meets OHS Act requirements.

Why Do You Need Safety Audits?

Compliance audits are conducted to ensure the workplace meets the requirements of the OHS Act, South African Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 85 of 1993. A compliance audit will identify hazards, unsafe work practices and procedures, and systems of work that do not meet legislated standards.

Audit Process

Onsite Safety Audit

A thorough inspection is conducted to identify potential hazards, assess current safety measures, and ensure compliance with South African workplace safety regulations.

Receive Compliance Action Plan

A detailed report outlining necessary corrective actions is provided, helping businesses address non-compliance issues and improve workplace safety.

Implement Changes to Comply

Businesses take corrective actions based on the compliance plan, ensuring adherence to legal safety standards and fostering a safer working environment.

We also provide Health & Safety File services, feel free to contact us for a quotation.

OHS audits for skills development providers

A skills development provider that wants QCTO accreditation needs an OHS audit, an audit report and a health and safety certificate. DDi does these audits and certificates, and we have helped many providers get their accreditation. The audit is done with a reputable audit application by an auditor registered with SAIOSH, as the QCTO requires. The certificate is valid for 12 months, so re-auditing every year is not optional, and the accountability sits with management. Need your training staff trained too? See First Aid Level 1 and SHE Rep Training.

From our audits

What an inspector asks for first

It depends on the inspector, but when the Department of Employment and Labour arrives, this is what we see asked for most often, in this order.

  1. Your risk assessmentMost inspectors ask for the health and safety risk assessment first. It is the baseline for your company: what risks you have, what level they are at and how you reduce them. It shows your due diligence.
  2. Your health and safety fileMany companies have a file put together for them, but no risk assessment in it.
  3. Your SHE RepsWho they are, and that they are appointed and trained.
  4. Your first aiders and first aid kitWho your first aiders are, and the dates on their certificates.
  5. Who trained themThat the training provider carries a Department of Labour approval number on the certificate.
  6. Your fire fightersSome inspectors ask fire fighters to show the PASS method and name the extinguishers in their area.
  7. Forklift licencesIf you use forklifts, that the drivers are trained and their licences are up to date.

What gets companies into trouble

Most often: incomplete health and safety files, no risk assessment, first aiders and fire fighters who are not trained, no SHE Reps, and forklift licences that are out of date. A system is only as good as how well it is implemented, applied and kept up to date.

We often get frantic calls for urgent first aid or fire fighting training because the inspector arrived and nobody had checked the certificates. Start with a risk assessment instead.

Two OHS Navigator stories

A safety file in days, so a business could open

A client needed an OHS file for its accreditation and company registration, and didn't know where to start. We designed the electronic file with OHS Navigator and had it up and running within a few days. They passed the inspections and got the registration they needed to start trading.

Prohibition notices lifted within days

The Department of Labour arrived at a company and issued prohibition notices. We met, set a plan to implement and to show the Department the work, and within a few days put the documents together and added them to the health and safety file. The Department approved it, the notices were lifted, and the company is still operating today.

A compliance audit checks your workplace against the OHS Act (Act 85 of 1993). It identifies hazards, unsafe work practices and procedures, and systems of work that do not meet legislated standards.

How does the audit work?

We do a thorough onsite inspection, then give you a compliance action plan. Your business then makes the changes the plan sets out.

What do we get after the audit?

A detailed report of the corrective actions needed, so you can fix non-compliance issues and improve workplace safety.

What does a safety audit cost?

Audits are quoted per site. Contact us for a quotation.

Can DDi help after the audit?

Yes. We also compile health and safety files, and OHS Navigator gives you audits, safety files and training from one partner.

Do you do the OHS audit a training provider needs for QCTO accreditation?

Yes. Skills development providers need an OHS audit, an audit report and a health and safety certificate for QCTO accreditation. DDi does these audits and certificates. The certificate is valid for 12 months, so the audit is repeated every year.
