Nationally Recognized Regulatory Bodies: Our health and safety programs are rigorously aligned with national skills frameworks and carry full accreditation from the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and the Transport Education Training Authority (TETA).
Department of Employment and Labour Compliant: Our training operates in strict accordance with the regulations set by the South African Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL).

Protecting Your Business: Corporate OHS Compliance & Liability
For employers in South Africa, health and safety training is not just a best practice, it is a strict legal requirement under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993).
Failing to train your staff adequately can result in severe penalties, work stoppages, and criminal liability for business owners. Our corporate training programs are specifically designed to support Section 16.1 (Chief Executive Officers) and Section 16.2 (Assigned Managers) appointees by ensuring that appointed SHE Reps and supervisors are fully competent in hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA).
Whether your team operates under the general OHS Act, the Construction Regulations (2014), or needs foundational knowledge applicable to the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA), Alika Training provides the accredited documentation you need to pass Department of Employment and Labour (DEL) audits.
