Industries like mining, construction, energy, and manufacturing face growing SHERQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Risk & Quality) pressures. Between complex regulations (OHS Act, Mine Health & Safety Act, NEMA) and increasingly stringent SHEQ requirements, companies are realising that manual SHEQ procedures and disconnected record-keeping expose them to fines, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
SHERQ Challenges
- A fatality rate of 17.5 per 100,000 workers in construction puts South Africa well above international averages
- Around 10% of workplace incidents are never investigated, hampering root-cause learning
- Companies frequently cite lack of top management commitment and weak safety culture as barriers to proactive safety leadership
These challenges underscore a systemic issue: reactive SHERQ management, isolated policies, and fragmented data are no longer viable.
