Integrated SHEQ Management Systems

With regards to the integration of ISO/OHSAS managements systems, Advantage ACT has been the thought-leader in Africa on the subject. Our Integrated SHEQ Auditors course was the first of its kind in Africa and has served as the benchmark for similar courses over the last 10 years.

Advantage A.C.T can be considered a leader in the field of ISO/OHSAS-based systems integration.

Systems integration is an internationally growing trend that promises improved productivity, understanding and reduced costs. Christel Fouche is one of only a handful of Lead auditors with a registration as an ISO9001, ISO14001 & OHSAS18001 Lead Auditor.

Our capabilities to assist organisations with the design and development of integrated SHEQ systems, comes from our ISO/OHSAS-based management system skills and knowledge.

Legal Registers & Compliance

In most cases, a Legal Compliance audit is followed by a Legal register. This is a workable solution for your organization driven by the hazards and risks that has been identified and linking them to applicable and relevant legislation that could impact on your operations.

A Legal register includes national, provincial and local by-laws. An updating service is also an integral part of this process and a requirement under the ISO and OHSAS standards. Advantage A.C.T. offers the following services:

  • Legal Registers
  • Legal Updating Services
  • Legal Consulting

Advantage A.C.T’s Unique Auditing Sessions

We are the first organization to offer a mechanism through which auditors-in-training can accumulate auditing hours. In order to register as a Lead auditor, you will need to submit an audit log with at least 120 completed audit hours (as required by ISO19011) . This should be done in the presence of a registered Lead Auditor and also a SAATCA requirement.

Advantage A.C.T’s Auditing Sessions are done according to the guidelines as set out on Table 1 of page 27 of ISO19011. Read more about this unique opportunity here.
