A Practical Audit, Clear Findings and a Compliance Outcome
The certification process includes a practical review of the workplace, relevant health and safety documentation, emergency arrangements and key compliance controls.
Workplace Inspection
A physical inspection of the premises to review visible workplace conditions, emergency arrangements, housekeeping, access, signage and safety controls.
Documentation Review
Review of relevant health and safety documents, appointments, registers, policies, procedures, inspection records and supporting compliance evidence.
Emergency Preparedness
Review of emergency information, evacuation arrangements, firefighting equipment, first aid arrangements and visible emergency readiness.

After the audit, the outcome is documented clearly so that your business knows what has been assessed, what was found and what needs to happen next.
Health and safety audit report with practical findings.
Non-conformance register where compliance gaps are identified.
Clear close-out requirements for items that need correction.
Health and Safety Compliance Certificate where the required compliance position has been achieved.
The certificate is issued where the required standard is met. If gaps remain, they are recorded for close-out before certification is confirmed.
The Report Is Compiled First. The Certificate Lands on Top.
Every certification starts with a full audit report. Findings are compiled page by page, the non-conformances are registered, and the compliance certificate is issued on top of that record — not in place of it.
Second party audit report, legal compliance aligned.
Non-conformances graded critical, high and low, each with a close-out action.
Numbered health and safety compliance certificate, issued on the audit record.
Every certificate carries a QR code that resolves to a live verification page, so the party requesting it — a QCTO accreditation submission, a bonded store application, a supplier approval or a tender — can confirm it is genuine.
A Clear Process From Enquiry to Certificate Outcome
The process is structured to confirm the reason for the certificate, assess the workplace and documents, report the findings and confirm whether the Health and Safety Compliance Certificate can be issued.
Initial Enquiry and Requirement Review
We confirm why the certificate is required, what type of premises must be assessed and whether there are specific client, tender, application or business requirements to consider.
Workplace Audit and Document Review
We conduct a practical workplace inspection and review the relevant documentation, emergency arrangements, appointments, registers, records and visible workplace controls.
Audit Report and Findings
We issue a clear audit report with practical findings. If gaps are identified, they are recorded in a non-conformance register so the business knows exactly what must be corrected.
Certificate or Close-Out Support
If the required compliance position is achieved, the certificate is issued. If gaps remain, we can assist with close-out guidance and verification of corrective evidence.
The certificate outcome depends on the condition of the workplace, the available health and safety documentation and whether critical compliance requirements are in place.
Workplace conditions must be reasonably compliant and controlled.
Required safety documentation must be available and relevant.
Emergency arrangements must be practical and visible.
Critical non-conformances must be corrected before certification is confirmed.
Where gaps are identified, the aim is to give clear close-out actions rather than leaving the business unsure of what to correct.
Health and Safety Compliance Support for Training Provider Premises
Training providers may need to show that their premises, facilities, emergency arrangements and occupational health and safety controls are suitable for the intended training environment.
Training Premises Readiness
Review of the training environment, access, layout, visible hazards, general safety controls and workplace suitability from an OHSE perspective.
Emergency Arrangements
Review of emergency information, evacuation arrangements, firefighting equipment, first aid provisions and visible emergency readiness.
Health and Safety Documentation

Audit Report and Findings
Clear reporting on the compliance position, including practical findings and close-out actions where gaps are identified.
Compliance Certificate Outcome
A Health and Safety Compliance Certificate can be issued once the required compliance position has been achieved.
OHSE Resolved can assist training providers with a practical workplace audit, review of relevant health and safety documentation, audit report and Health and Safety Compliance Certificate where the required compliance position has been achieved.
The focus is on the occupational health and safety component of the premises, including workplace readiness, emergency preparedness, safety documentation and visible site controls.
This service supports the health and safety compliance component of your training provider readiness process — not QCTO accreditation itself.

Request Training Provider SupportYou Still Receive Clear Findings and a Practical Close-Out Path
Not every site is ready for certification on the first audit. Where gaps are identified, OHSE Resolved provides clear findings so that the business understands what must be corrected before the certificate can be issued.
This helps your business correct issues, prepare supporting evidence and move towards a certificate outcome with a clear understanding of the remaining requirements.
Where certification cannot be confirmed immediately, the non-conformances are recorded and close-out actions are clearly explained.
Non-Conformance Register
Gaps are recorded in a clear register so that the business can see what must be corrected before certification can be confirmed.
Clear Close-Out Actions
Findings are written in practical terms, with clear actions to help management understand what needs to be fixed or provided.
Evidence Review
Where suitable, corrective evidence can be reviewed electronically to confirm whether specific findings have been closed.
Certificate Confirmation
Once the required compliance position has been achieved, the Health and Safety Compliance Certificate can be issued.
Need help closing findings?
We can assist with practical close-out support, documentation updates and evidence review where compliance gaps are identified.
When a Health and Safety Compliance Certificate May Be Required
Businesses request a certificate for different reasons. In most cases the purpose is to provide clear evidence that the premises, safety arrangements and supporting documentation have been reviewed.
Training Provider Premises
For training providers that need health and safety evidence linked to premises readiness, training environments, emergency arrangements and supporting documentation.
Bonded Store Applications
For businesses applying for bonded store approval where premises-related health and safety compliance evidence may be required.
Supplier or Client Approval
For supplier onboarding, contractor approval, client audits or procurement processes that require health and safety compliance confirmation.
Tender Requirements
For tenders or bid submissions where a business must show that its workplace health and safety arrangements have been assessed.
Branch or Site Readiness
For new branches, operational sites, offices or facilities that need a practical health and safety readiness review before use or approval.
Internal Compliance Confirmation
For businesses that want independent confirmation of their health and safety position, supported by an audit report and clear outcome.
What a health and safety certificate request really means
When a client, landlord, tender document or application form asks for a health and safety certificate, what they want is independent confirmation that your workplace has been audited against the Occupational Health and Safety Act. That is what a health and safety compliance certificate from OHSE Resolved is: a certificate backed by a workplace audit and a written report.
If you need a health and safety certificate for your business, start by telling us who asked for it and why: a training provider accreditation, a SARS bonded store application, a client or tender requirement, or your own assurance. The audit is scoped to that requirement. Where gaps are found, you receive a non-conformance register and a clear close-out path before the certificate is confirmed.
