Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Compliance Services South Africa

Workplace Law Chambers delivers expert Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance services throughout South Africa, helping employers meet their statutory obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Many organisations face challenges managing documentation, risk assessments, safety files, and Department of Employment and Labour inspections.

These systems significantly lower accident rates, improve efficiency, and minimise regulatory enforcement risks.
Occupational Health and Safety Compliance Files (OHS Safety Files)
A comprehensive, up-to-date OHS safety file is vital for inspection readiness. We compile, implement, and maintain files that fully satisfy the Act's requirements.
Standard contents include:
- Occupational Health and Safety policies
- Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA)
- Statutory appointment letters
- Incident reporting procedures
- Workplace inspection registers
- Emergency evacuation procedures
- Safety meeting minutes
- Safety training registers
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) policies
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for hazardous substances
We also audit and update existing files to eliminate compliance gaps.
Workplace Risk Assessments and HIRA Implementation
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA) are essential for proactive safety management. We identify hazards, evaluate risks, and apply effective controls to prevent injuries and illnesses.
Our assessments deliver:
- Identification of workplace safety hazards
- Implementation of risk control measures
- Development of safe work procedures
- Compliant risk documentation
- Reduction in accidents and safety incidents
Reviews occur annually or after significant operational changes.
OHS Compliance Audits and Workplace Safety Inspections
Ongoing audits ensure continuous compliance and inspection preparedness. We perform detailed reviews, highlight gaps, and implement practical corrective actions.
- Workplace safety inspections
- Safety file compliance reviews
- Risk management assessments
- Compliance gap analysis
- Corrective safety measure implementation
Regular audits substantially reduce exposure to penalties and incidents.
Workplace Safety Appointments and OHS Governance
We establish required governance structures, including formal appointments of Health and Safety Representatives, Committees, First Aid Officers, Fire Wardens, and responsible persons — complete with compliant appointment letters and documentation.
Workplace Safety Policies and Procedures
We draft or review key policies covering general safety, incident reporting, hazardous chemical handling, safe work instructions, PPE usage, and emergency response — ensuring full alignment with current legislation and best practices.
Emergency Evacuation Plans and Workplace Emergency Procedures
Robust emergency preparedness is mandatory. We create evacuation plans, fire safety protocols, response policies, signage layouts, and conduct drills to ensure effective handling of fires, accidents, or other incidents.
Workplace Safety Training and Toolbox Talks
Building employee awareness is key to sustained compliance. We deliver custom safety training programmes and regular toolbox talks to educate teams on hazards, legal responsibilities, and safe behaviours — directly contributing to fewer accidents.
