About MySafetyFile
Built by safety professionals. For safety professionals.
We are ISO Auditors, Safety Consultants, and Construction Safety Officers based in Cape Town. We built MySafetyFile because we knew first-hand how much time and money gets wasted on safety documentation that could be automated.
Who we are
The credentials behind the platform
MySafetyFile is a division of the Business Made Safe Holdings (Pty) Ltd, based at Junction Corner, Cape Town. Our team carries qualifications across occupational health and safety, ISO management systems, construction safety, and software development.
We are a SAIOSH Corporate Member — the South African Institute of Occupational Safety and Health — with individually registered members on our team. SAIOSH membership requires demonstrated competency in OHS practice and adherence to a professional code of conduct. It means the people behind these documents know what they are talking about.
Our story
Why we built this
Small contractors in South Africa are legally required to have a safety file on site before work can begin. The Construction Regulations 2014, issued under the OHS Act 85 of 1993, are clear on this. But the traditional route — hiring a safety consultant — costs between R2,500 and R3,500 per file and takes 48 to 72 hours. For a small contractor running a tight project, that's a significant cost and a real delay.
We built MySafetyFile to change that. By standardising and automating the document generation process — drawing on our team's direct experience with what the Department of Labour actually checks on site — we reduced setup time from 8 hours to 8 minutes and cost from ~R3,500 to R500. Over 1,959 contractors and consulting firms across South Africa have used the platform to generate compliant, site-specific safety files.
What drives us
Our four goals
Make Safety Easy
A safety file should take 8 minutes, not 8 hours. We've automated the document generation so you can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
Make Safety Affordable
R500 per file — no registration fees, no monthly subscription, no hidden costs. Compliance should be within reach for every contractor, not just large corporations.
Make Safety Accessible
From a smartphone on a construction site to a consultant's desktop in an office — the platform works anywhere, for anyone.
