Sky Rig SA
Safety and compliance

Built to be vetted. Not just hired.

Under OHSA Section 37, the person who appoints a contractor is personally liable if that contractor is not properly qualified and a worker is injured on their building. Sky Rig is SANS 10333 qualified. Documentation is prepared before it is asked for.

Working at height on someone else's building creates legal exposure for the person who appointed the contractor. OHSA Section 37 places that responsibility directly on the trustee or managing agent who signs off on an unqualified subcontractor. The process below exists to address that exposure before work starts, not after.

ACCESS METHOD
Rope access, boom lift or scaffold, selected per site and signed off before mobilisation
PPE, EVERY JOB
Hard hat, harness and fall arrest, hi-vis, gloves, and any site-specific PPE required by the principal contractor
DOCUMENTATION
Risk assessment, method statement and SANS 10333 compliance documentation ready before mobilisation. Addresses OHSA Section 37 liability before the first technician arrives on site.
OCCUPIED BUILDINGS
Pre-job briefing, signage and resident or tenant notice for live, occupied sites
EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
Rescue plan and emergency contact confirmed on site before any work at height begins
Rope access work in South Africa operates within the SANS 10333 framework and the standards maintained by the Institute for Work at Height.

Certifications, insurance details and SANS 10333 compliance documentation are provided on request before any work is scheduled. This is the standard vetting process, not an exception. It addresses the Section 37 duty of care a trustee or managing agent carries when appointing a contractor for work at height on their building.
