Health & Safety Files

Service

Compliant safety files for contractors — compiled professionally, delivered on time.

Service Overview

SASREA Compliance Without the Stress

A health and safety file is a legally required compliance document under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Construction Regulations. If you’re working on a construction site, carrying out installations, or performing maintenance, you will almost certainly need one before you can start.

 

Ransom Safety compiles your safety file for you. We handle the documentation, formatting, and compilation — tailored to your specific scope of work — so you can focus on the job.

 

We’ve invested in in-house printing and production capability, which means faster turnaround. Your file arrives submission-ready — correctly formatted and covering everything the principal contractor or client requires.

Event safety officers

Formally appointed in terms of Section 4 of SASREA, on site for the full duration of your event.

Event permits

Complete application management with your local authority, including all supporting documentation.

Event risk assessments

Venue and activity specific assessments that identify hazards before they become incidents.

Event safety plans

Professional safety and security plans that satisfy SAPS, disaster management, and municipal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SASREA Act?

Any event attended by the public may require a permit from your local municipality, and events with more than 2,000 attendees fall directly under SASREA. Requirements vary by city and venue, which is why we assess every event individually and confirm exactly what applies to you.

The Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act 2 of 2010 (SASREA) is South African legislation that governs safety at sports, recreational, religious, cultural, and entertainment events. It sets out the requirements for event permits, safety planning, and the appointment of an event safety officer.

An event safety officer is responsible for the overall safety of an event. They oversee the safety plan, coordinate with SAPS, medical, and security services, conduct inspections during build up, and remain on site to manage safety throughout the event.

Our event safety officers hold recognised health and safety qualifications and have hands-on experience across festivals, sporting events, concerts, and corporate events. Every appointment is made formally in terms of Section 4 of SASREA.

Most municipalities require applications to be submitted well in advance of the event date, and larger events need more lead time. We recommend contacting us as early as possible so there is enough time for the risk assessment, safety plan, and permit approval.
