SiteActive is engineered around South African regulation — not a global product with a local skin. The legislation is encoded into how the platform is structured, how compliance is scored, and how every record is captured: built to hold up the day it is tested, all the way down to a CCMA or COIDA dispute.
Most compliance software is a global template with a South African label applied on top. SiteActive is the other way around: 34 South African legislative standards are encoded into the platform as native architecture — among them the OHS Act 85 of 1993, the Construction Regulations 2014, COIDA, NEMA, the B-BBEE Act, POPIA and the ECT Act. The Cross-Reference Engine maps what each trade is legally required to hold to the legislation that requires it, so the right requirements appear by law, not by a checklist someone remembered to build.
Liability under South African law runs in a chain — from the organisation, to the site, to the specific project and the people appointed on it. The three-tier SHE File is built to mirror that chain exactly: the Master Vault at organisation level, the Site SHE File, and the Project-Specific File beneath it. Statutory appointments and the Section 37(2) agreement — the OHS Act instrument that assigns duties between client and mandatary — sit where the law places them, governed as a dual-signature instrument that references the OHS Act, the LRA, the BCEA and COIDA.
Compliance only matters at the moment it is tested. Key compliance events are captured as tamper-evident, independently verifiable and forensic-grade records — and constitute data messages under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002, engineered to be admissible as evidence under Section 15 of that Act. The Evidence Pack and Forensic Legal Export produce a structured, dated record on demand that can be put in front of the Department of Employment and Labour, the CCMA, a court, an insurer or a regulator — without reconstructing anything after the fact.
Labour and injury disputes are won or lost on what can be proven about what happened on the day. SiteActive captures that record as it is created, so it is already there when the matter is referred — not assembled under pressure once a claim or a referral lands.
A tamper-evident record of attendance, induction, toolbox-talk participation and permit-to-work completion — per worker, per site, per day — built to serve as evidence in CCMA proceedings, Labour Court matters and COID claim disputes.
Formal communications during a labour dispute or contractor termination, delivered with a timestamped, tamper-evident proof of delivery and receipt — so a notice cannot later be denied.
The statutory agreement and appointments captured the way the law expects, dual-signed and dated, establishing who carried which duty when an incident is investigated.
A representative view of the frameworks encoded into the platform — among 34 South African standards spanning safety, labour, environment, empowerment and electronic evidence.
SiteActive is a SHERQ operating system, not a legal service and not a replacement for the responsible person. The AI handles the routine layer — checking, drafting, flagging — but every legally significant record is reviewed and signed by the appointed responsible person, and the accountability stays with them. The platform makes the law easier to meet and far easier to prove; it never pretends to carry the duty for you.
