Health safety environment manual for South Africa

Why have HSE manuals and policies?

There are strict laws on health, safety and welfare at work. Compliance is critical. It is too late when an accident has occurred. A single successful claim from an employee could ruin a small business. Use our HSE manuals to aid compliance.

Edit to your requirement

We would love to include industry specific details for every industry, but special processes entail specific risks.  The more unique and dangerous your business procedures, the more you must liaise with your H&S inspector and take detailed advice on aspects of your H&S policy which will require additions to your manual. What we have provided in these versions are comprehensive and detailed provisions generally.  They are however, very thorough.

Key features:

• A model policy for a medium or large organisation with anything from 5 to up to 5,000 staff.  It does not contain narrow, industry specific provisions, but it is otherwise fully comprehensive.
• Not only helps you comply with the Law, but makes it easier to manage the business by setting out clear paths through the law and processes involved.
