Electrical Engineering & Compliance
High-voltage maintenance, complex wiring, and full OHSA compliance auditing — COC issued on every job.
The Problem
Why This Service Is
Business-Critical
Non-compliant electrical installations are the leading cause of workplace fires, electrocutions, and facility shutdowns in South Africa. The Occupational Health and Safety Act places direct criminal liability on employers and property owners for non-compliant electrical systems. A single DOL inspection without a valid COC can result in immediate operational shutdown, substantial fines, and personal liability for management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About
Electrical Engineering & Compliance
Q: Is a Certificate of Compliance legally required?
A: Yes. The Electrical Installation Regulations require that a COC be issued for all new electrical work, major modifications, and changes of occupancy. Property owners who sell or lease without a valid COC face legal liability. We issue COCs on every job.
Q: What does an electrical compliance audit involve?
A: We conduct a full inspection of your electrical installation against SANS 10142 and OHSA requirements — testing earthing, wiring condition, distribution boards, safety devices, and documentation. You receive a detailed compliance report and a corrective action plan where required.
Q: Can you work on high-voltage industrial systems?
A: Yes. Our team is qualified and equipped for high-voltage industrial maintenance — including MV switchgear, transformers, and industrial motor control centres. All high-voltage work is conducted under strict OHSA safety procedures.
Q: How often should an electrical compliance audit be done?
A: SANS 10142 and insurance best practice recommend a compliance audit every 5 years for commercial and industrial properties, and after any major electrical work. Mining operations under MHSA have more frequent requirements.
Q: What happens if my system fails the compliance audit?
A: We provide a detailed corrective action report. All remedial work is quoted separately and can be carried out by our team. Once remediation is complete, a new COC is issued. We aim to resolve all compliance failures in a single return visit.
