OHS compliance certificate
An HSEQM Consultants OHS compliance certificate may be issued when the agreed assessment requirements have been evaluated and met. The certificate records the outcome of the agreed-scope OHS assessment; it is not a QCTO, SAIOSH or government certificate.
Frequently asked questions
Can you issue a certificate after the audit?
Yes, where the agreed requirements have been assessed and met. If gaps remain, the audit report identifies the corrective actions required before follow-up verification.
Does the audit guarantee QCTO, SETA or DHET approval?
No. HSEQM Consultants provides occupational health and safety evidence and readiness support. Accreditation and approval decisions remain with the relevant authority.
Can the audit be completed remotely?
Document preparation and follow-up can include remote work, but a premises compliance assessment normally requires an on-site visit in Johannesburg or elsewhere in Gauteng.
