Professional Occupational Health & Safety Services in South Africa.
Horizon Risk Management is a trusted provider of specialised Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) services across South Africa. We support organisations in building safe, legally compliant workplaces through expert guidance, robust systems, and a proactive approach to risk management.
Our team of highly experienced Subject Matter Experts partners with directors, executives, and operational managers to ensure full compliance with:
- The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 85 of 1993
- All regulations promulgated under the Act
- The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, 130 of 1993 (COIDA)
We understand the complexities of South Africa’s legislative landscape and provide practical, tailored solutions that help businesses meet statutory requirements while fostering a strong safety culture.
Our Commitment to Legal Compliance
South African employers face increasing scrutiny around their legal responsibilities under the OHS Act and COIDA. Noncompliance exposes companies, and their leadership, to significant legal, financial, and reputational risks.
At Horizon Risk Management, we assist clients in identifying, interpreting, and meeting their legal duties, including:
- Appointment of competent persons
- Implementation of required OHS structures and processes
- Management of workplace risks and hazards
- Incident reporting and COIDA claim processes
- Compliance with industry specific regulations (Construction, Electrical, General Safety, Hazardous Chemical Agents, Machinery, and more)
Our services ensure that companies address both legal liability (failure of the employer to meet statutory duties) and vicarious liability (liability arising from the actions or omissions of employees). We help clients implement the controls, training, documentation, and systems required to minimise these risks.
Our Approach
A Comprehensive OHS Safety Management System
To deliver long term, sustainable compliance, Horizon Risk Management adopts an integrated Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) approach. This framework ensures that safety is not treated as a once off requirement but as an organisational process aligned with continuous improvement.
Key elements of our OHSMS implementation include:
- Detailed OHS legal audits
- Risk assessments and risk mitigation strategies
- Development of policies, procedures, and safety plans
- Training and competency development
- Appointment and guidance of statutory role players
- Incident investigation and corrective action management
- Continuous monitoring, reporting, and performance reviews
This structured and systematic method ensures traceability, accountability, and measurable improvements in OHS performance.
The system is also backed up by our ONE IMS, an integrated management system for enterprise risk management.
