SHEQ consulting · since 2013
Your one-stop shop for all things SHEQ.
Safety files, site audits and SHEQ systems for contractors, run by Jacqueline Fort, a registered Construction Health & Safety Manager. We get your file approved and keep it current until the job is handed over.
SACPCMP registered · CHSM/811/2019 · ActiveCheck ↗WebsiteYour own tagline leads. The badge links to your live entry on the SACPCMP register (active, good standing to 31 March 2027). None of the ~30 SA safety consultancies I checked does this.
Get your file approved. Then keep it that way until handover.
The regulations ask for a file on site, checked at least every 30 days. We do the checking, so medicals, inductions and appointments never lapse halfway through a job.

What we do
Everything SHEQ, under one roof. Whatever your client's specification asks for.
Safety, health, environment and quality: the paperwork that gets you on site, and the checks that keep you there.

Handover
At the end of the job, the consolidated file goes to your client.
WebsiteThe 30-day audits, 7-day reports, inductions and handover all come straight from Construction Regulations 5 and 7 (checked against the 2014 text). Cheap online files (R499–R2 000) stop at step 2. Steps 3 and 4 are what you sell.
The O.S.A.S. app
Open the app demo
Your safety file, on your phone. Included for every O.S.A.S. client.
Scan at the gate. Know who can go in.
Your supervisor scans each worker's site card. If someone can't enter, the app says exactly why and how to fix it on the spot.
Try it
Toolbox talks signed on a phone
Workers sign with a finger. The register goes straight into your file.
One link for your principal contractor
They open it with a code sent to their email, read the file and approve it. No account, no 40 MB email.
Jackie sees every site at once
Audits coming due, certificates to check, and everything that expires in the next 30 days, across all clients.
AppBuilt for you, not bought. SA software is either for big companies receiving contractors (SHEQ24, IsoMetrix) or it sells PDFs. Nothing is built for a registered consultant with a book of contractors. It also turns once-off files into monthly retainers.
Free checks
Two quick checks before you start. Straight from the Construction Regulations.
Is your safety file ready?
Tick what you have and see what's missing. Send the gaps to Jackie in one tap.
Permit, notice or neither?
Some projects need a construction work permit. Others need the Department of Employment and Labour told 7 days ahead.
WebsiteBoth tools use the exact wording of Construction Regulations 2–10. Contractors come back to tools like these, and "Send the gaps" turns a visit into a scoped enquiry.
