Who we are

We are not a template supplier

SHEQ Guard (Pty) Ltd helps South African businesses meet their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993, its regulations and the standards their clients and insurers expect of them.

A generic safety file may pass a first glance, but it fails the moment an inspector asks how a control is applied on your floor, by your people, on your equipment. Every risk assessment, procedure and appointment we produce is written around your actual operation — which is why our documents hold up under audit, and why our clients keep us on long after the first file is signed off.

We work as an extension of your team. That means being on site, walking the process with the people who do the work, and being reachable when something goes wrong at four o’clock on a Friday.

Our story

One practical partner for SHEQ

SHEQ Guard was founded in 2026 by Quintin Grobbelaar, Founder & General Manager, who has worked in occupational health and safety since 2017 — first as a SHE Practitioner supporting businesses across South Africa, then as SHEQ Manager in a manufacturing and packaging business.

After nine years helping more than 100 companies with their safety compliance, he started SHEQ Guard to give businesses one practical partner for safety, health, environment and quality: straightforward advice, done properly, at a fair price.

Based in Pretoria, we serve Gauteng and clients nationwide, in industries ranging from manufacturing and construction to warehousing, logistics and packaging. Today SHEQ Guard delivers the full compliance spectrum — from a once-off risk assessment to a fully managed monthly SHEQ system.

Why clients stay with us

Compliance you can rely on

Built for your operation

Every system is written around your industry, your equipment and your risk profile. No templates with someone else’s company name still in the footer.

Legally current

We track the OHS Act and its regulations, the COID Act, environmental legislation and the applicable SANS standards, and we update your documents when they change.

On site, not just on email

We walk the floor with your supervisors, because a control nobody uses is not a control.

One point of contact for everything

Medicals, hygiene surveys, fire equipment, lifting inspections and training are all coordinated by us, so you are not chasing five suppliers.

Measured, not assumed

Site visits, KPI tracking and management reviews show you month on month where your compliance actually stands.

Reachable when it counts

On-call support for incidents, inspections and Department of Employment and Labour queries.
