Shemtrac Course

Shemtrac Course That Supports Real Workplace Compliance

The Shemtrac Course from Global SHEQ is designed for South African businesses that need practical, compliant safety management in real workplaces, not just theory on paper. The programme focuses on how to implement, monitor, and improve safety systems so that policies translate into safer work on site, in plants, warehouses, and offices. With a blended and accessible learning format, your team can upskill without disrupting operations, while still building the competence needed to manage risk effectively.

Who Should Enrol

This course is suitable for safety representatives, supervisors, middle and senior managers, contractors, and project leads who are accountable for health and safety performance. It is also well suited to HR practitioners, operations coordinators, and site administrators who support compliance documentation and reporting. Individuals aiming to move into a safety coordinator or SHEQ officer role can use the programme to build a solid, recognised foundation in structured safety management.

What You Will Gain

• Structured safety management skills that help you plan, implement, and monitor SHE files and safety plans on active sites.
• Clear understanding of South African requirements including how the Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations affect day-to-day work activities.
• Confidence to engage with audits and inspections by knowing what inspectors look for, how to prepare documentation, and how to respond to findings.
• Improved coordination between teams so that management, contractors, and workers follow the same procedures and reporting lines.
• Better use of existing company systems by aligning your safety documentation with your broader ISO-aligned management systems and business processes.

Training Areas Covered

The Shemtrac Course covers the full safety management cycle, from planning and risk identification through to monitoring and continual improvement. Content is broken into focused modules so that learners can apply each section directly at their workplace, using real company documents, registers, and site conditions as part of their study.

• Legislation and responsibilities – roles and duties of employers, contractors, clients, and workers under South African law.
• Risk assessment and control – hazard identification, task-based risk assessments, and selecting suitable control measures that can be maintained.
• Site safety planning – building and managing SHE files, method statements, permits, and site-specific safety plans that align with client requirements.
• Incident management – reporting, investigation steps, root-cause thinking, and practical corrective and preventative actions.
• Monitoring and improvement – safety inspections, checklists, leading and lagging indicators, and basic data tracking for management review.
• Communication and training – toolbox talks, inductions, and record-keeping that link back to your broader OHS training programmes.

Why Partner with Global SHEQ

Global SHEQ works with organisations across South Africa, from small contractors to larger industrial and construction operations. Our trainers draw on on-site experience, which means examples, templates, and case studies reflect common local challenges such as subcontractor control, multi-employer sites, and resource constraints. The Shemtrac Course is integrated with other services we provide, giving you the option to combine training with consulting support when you need extra hands to implement or refine your systems.

Many clients use the course alongside advisory services available through the broader Global SHEQ offering, ensuring their internal procedures match both legal requirements and client expectations. This combination supports consistent standards between head office and remote sites, reducing the risk of non-conformances and repeat incidents.

How the Course Fits into Your Compliance Strategy

The Shemtrac Course can stand alone or form part of a structured development pathway for safety coordinators, supervisors, and junior managers. Organisations often pair it with focused operational courses from the Global SHEQ course catalogue to cover specific tasks such as risk assessment, incident investigation, or contractor management. Over time, this approach helps build an internal pipeline of competent people who understand both your operational realities and your compliance obligations.

Because the course content aligns with recognised management principles, it also supports companies that are working towards, or maintaining, formal systems in line with ISO standards. This alignment makes it easier to connect day-to-day safety tasks with your documented procedures, policies, and audits.

Whether you are standardising safety across multiple sites or strengthening the skills of a single safety officer, the Shemtrac Course offers a practical way to raise competence without overloading your team. You can integrate the learning into existing safety meetings, planning sessions, and site inspections so that there is immediate application rather than abstract study. When you are ready to align the programme with your specific risk profile, our team can guide you on suitable combinations with other occupational health and safety training options.
