Pricing
How much does a construction safety file cost in South Africa?
The short answer: with MySafetyFile, a complete site-specific construction safety file costs R500 — a once-off price per file, with no registration fee, no monthly subscription, and no hidden charges.
What the R500 includes
The R500 is not a starter fee or a per-document charge. It is the full price for a complete, site-specific safety file containing all 351 documents across 9 categories, aligned with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 and the Construction Regulations 2014, and ready to print or submit digitally.
That is 351 documents in total — every one populated with your project details, not a blank template you fill in by hand.
Why safety file costs vary
There is no single market price for a construction safety file in South Africa, because the cost depends entirely on how you produce it:
- A safety consultant is usually priced per file or per day, and the figure varies widely with the consultant, the region, and the complexity of the project. It typically also involves an appointment and a turnaround of days to weeks.
- Building it yourself has no direct invoice, but it carries a real cost in time and in compliance risk: a missing or incorrect document can mean a principal contractor refuses you access to site, or a Department of Employment and Labour inspector issues a notice.
- Software like MySafetyFile gives you a fixed, predictable price — R500 per file — with the documents generated for your specific project in about 8 minutes.
