Seriti recommends HSEC Online® as their online contractor management system

“In 2016 we identified the gap of managing and adhering to contractor compliance by using our old manual paper base process. Since identifying the gap, we implemented HSEC Online® in 2017 with great success.

Even though HSEC Online® was implemented, we had the opportunity to work closely with the team at Saryx Engineering Group to enhance the HSEC Online® system by developing additional requirements/ configuration based on our operation needs.

Throughout the implementation, development, integration and everyday support, Saryx Engineering Group provides us with substantial support, and it is our pleasure to recommend their services.”

HSEC Online® enables DMC’s record-breaking production and zero harm record

“Discovery Drilling (DDC) and Discovery Mining Contractors (DMC) are privileged to be an HSEC Online® client since 2017. We are currently contracted by the South32 Mining Group. In today’s contracted business environment, it is essential to be able to measure SHEQ performance and maintain contractor compliance.

We chose the HSEC Online® Electronic Management System for this purpose, having real-time accurate and validated measures on all KPI records and documents. I believe our record-breaking production and zero harm record are the direct result of this beneficial information management process. The system timely flags both contractor and client to ensure all required company, employee and equipment records are uploaded and approved. HSEC Online® also serves as a guaranteed back-up to prevent loss of critical documented information.

Discovery Mining Contractors wishes to thank all associated South32 and HSEC Online® employees for taking us on this journey and assisting us to sustain measurable SHEQ performance and compliance.”

– Werner Vorster I SHEQ Manager I Discovery Mining Contractors

“We as Plant Maintenance Engineering Services work at South32 mines in the Manganese sector.

A Motsoane, Marketing Director, PME

The introduction of Saryx’s HSEC Online® came to the rescue when keeping documents up to date, especially at South32. The system shows which documents are due to be updated and which will expire. A notification via email is received once they have checked the uploaded documents. The system is easy to use and their support is very helpful on any occasions.”

Shaun Cooper, Director, Zululand Refrigeration

HSEC Online® makes safety sense and quality sense

“Richards Bay Crane Hire has been providing crane hire rigging and services to the industry and businesses within the Richards Bay area since 1998 and is committed to providing professional services that align with changes in the industry. To this end machinery and equipment is maintained, safety checks on machinery are carried out on a regular basis, operator (or driver) medicals are kept up to date, and operator training is conducted on a regular basis.

When HSEC Online® was introduced to us, we quickly realised that this solution would help us to track all the dates for medicals, training, and control documentation more effectively and efficiently. With the implementation of HSEC Online®, RBCH can now keep track of site inductions, medicals, track six monthly and annual checks for mobile cranes, as well as proactively manage all health and safety documentation and legal compliance.

HSEC Online® aligns with ISO 9001 and this works perfectly to get us compliant and audit ready at any given time of the day. All documents can be accessed via a cell phone from anywhere! I advise companies to use HSEC Online® from the beginning, it is a great tool to assist businesses to align themselves with industry norms in terms of paperwork and safety compliance. It is scalable and there are many modules to implement with full support and training offered by a team of experts. RBCH plans to be fully aligned to an ISO 9001 system, and to have all inventory controls and checklists 100% up to date using HSEC Online®.”

– Natasha Dhaver, Safety Manager at RBCH

“In 2012, the way HSE was run in Aluref South Africa started to change because of a new system which was implemented. This system is called HSEC Online® which translates to health, safety, environment community online, which is just that. HSEC Online® is not just a system which assists with keeping your procedures updated and your trainings valid, it is a growing and improving community where ideas are taken into consideration and implemented into the system, HSEC Online® is not just a stagnant program where you say I wish the system could do this or that, because if you speak to the professional team at Saryx Engineering Group, they will make it happen with everything within their power.”

-Ivan Hartman, Senior HSE Officer, STAREF Qatar

HSEC Online® enables us to proactively track all document compliance on one platform

“We started using HSEC Online® as a document sharing platform with one client. We could see the value of the system and decided to adopt the system for Feedback Electronics.  We found that HSEC Online® is much more than just a document sharing solution; we now use HSEC Online® for our electronic repair tickets that helps us track progress and provide professional reports to our clients.

HSEC Online® enables us to track our internal training certificates and medicals; the system notifies us 30 days prior to expiration, and this ensures that our certification is always up to date. HSEC Online® has made our lives easier and more convenient from daily COVID-19 tracking to document sharing with corporate clients. All on one platform.”

– Dirk Pieterse, Safety Officer. Feedback Electronics

“I have been using HSEC Online® for 4 years and haven’t got a single negative thing to say about it. It has revolutionized the way that I implement, track, and maintain all the health and safety requirements that I may have, and speeds up the process of completing the on-boarding on new sites.

As On Point Safety we found that the corporate sites where HSEC Online® is being used, the implementation of site requirements have been simplified and gain a clear and concise understanding of what is required to complete all legal and site requirements through the placeholders set by Saryx Engineering Group on behalf of the client. The only logical step was to register to become a certified consultant to get on board with a system that truly works.

The placeholders that include all expiry dates have made life a lot easier to track and remain legally compliant as per the site requirements ensuring that we have ample time to plan and implement requirements prior to expiry and that our clients have not lost time on site due to expired documents.

In several meetings on site, it has also been mentioned that the system makes it substantially more convenient to track the compliance of each contractor which in turn caused a great upward trend on terms of overall compliance.

I would like to take the opportunity to highly recommend HSEC Online® to anyone who might need a system to take their company along with all their health and safety compliance requirements to the next level. The system makes life a lot easier and the backup service that is provided is both professional and executed in a timely manner.”

-Juan Surmon, Director, On Point Safety

“Saryx rose to the challenge in supplying us with HSEC Online®. They over delivered on all our expectations and had enough time to attended to the nice to have functionality requests that came from our employees at the coalface.”

Safety file compliance improved from 25-79% and is ramping up to 100%

“Monare Noko Tradings (Pty) Ltd. focuses on reducing incidents, accidents and fatalities in the mining industry.

We have been an HSEC Online® Certified Consultant since 2021 rendering safety services that address digitising documentation for compliance by compiling safety files for contractors. We started using HSEC Online® when a mining contractor was stopped from working due to non-compliance which resulted in loss of revenue. We were able to rectify this by updating expiry dates, verifying documents and validating period requirements.

Now using HSEC Online® and the ‘add-on’ modules, we conduct risk assessments, reduce incidents gaps, audit and review contractors’ packs, mentor and train staff and contactors document management compliance, manage inventory including mining equipment, safety PPE and electrical maintenance, services and installations.

Numzan optimizes health and safety standards using HSEC Online®

“Numzan strives to provide the best possible service to our clients in every aspect of health and safety. Without HSEC Online® we couldn’t render a complete service.

While implementing Integrated Management Systems for clients, the growing concern remains how to implement a suitable, feasible and reliable platform for documentation storage and accessibility. Numzan wanted a ‘one-stop’ solution to simplify all disciplines to cover communication, documentation storage, ease of access, and more. We did our research and found HSEC Online® to be the best solution.

We implemented the solution through constant collaboration, communication and guidelines. Working with the ISO 45001 management system and integrating it with the HSEC Online® server was pain free as it’s user friendly. It’s not just an online contractors’ pack, but rather a platform with endless possibilities that can be implemented to meet a client’s specific needs. This platform eliminates unnecessary communication lines and leaves behind a paper trail for future reference and compliance. It has a wide variety of services to offer, and the admin work is greatly reduced due to many automated reports.

As a health and safety consulting company, we constantly keep up with changes in technology, legislation, and the needs of our clients. To develop as a company, we need to be innovative, and joining the HSEC Online® certified consultant program is a giant step towards reaching our goal.”

– Ulrich Strauss, Operational Director at Numzan Health and Safety

“We started with HSEC just over a year ago. Initially the fear of the unknown was ever present, but the excellent support we received from then until now has enabled us to manage our compliance with our client, Seriti – New Vaal Colliery.

The Shared Information – Online Guides are very helpful, but occasionally one needs a human voice of experience and reason, and you have all been excellent in your support and understanding where we were coming from.

Initially our contact was with Tjardine and Danielle, and recently we have been receiving support from Zizi. It is wonderful to know that the same excellent customer service ethic exists in all three you ladies (as I am sure it does with the rest of the company).

Once we received a measure of success with Seriti, the possibilities of other functionality within HSEC opened to us and we have successfully (with assistance and guidance from you) been able to upload all our ISO Documentation onto HSEC. The online accessibility has enabled us to conduct the Documentation part of our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 internal and external audits successfully this year.

We recently subscribed to the Leave Module and are planning within the next month to automate our leave application and approval system. This functionality has previously only been accessible to large companies through SAP. We are indeed grateful for this. As we become more acquainted with the use of Teams, Calendar, and Attendance Registers, we will incorporate these in our HR Administration functions. This has all been made possible because of your openness and willingness to support, guide and share your experiences with us.

We recognised that we could incorporate and manage the HR functions of our other Operations who are not registered with HSEC, and we increased our user platform accordingly.

We look forward to what the new year will bring and thank you for being able to have interactive sessions with you at your Witbank premises. You are professional and dedicated, and we appreciate you all.”

– Marlene Vermeulen, Document Controller, Emergency Training Solutions

“With the completion of the Richards Bay Coal Terminal Substation Reconfiguration Project, I would like to thank Saryx for the part as System Integrator on the project.

The project commissioning schedule was complex and to due production requirements, it was also tightly executed. It was a pleasure to work with the site engineering team as their hardware and software knowledge is extensive.
Fault finding during commissioning was highly effective and let to quick resolution of hardware and software issues.”

– Andre Frundt Pr. Eng, Senior Electrical Engineer, Sandvik Mining Systems

“Saryx has proven to be agile and flexible and each time they are presented with a challenge they are able to assist with smart, well-informed, user friendly solution within impressive time frames.

Saryx Engineering Group supply outstanding, reliable and expert services in the following categories: Consultant Engineering, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Control and Automation, Radio Technology and Fibre Installations.

“I highly recommend the construction firm, Saryx Engineering Group.

TCP has had the opportunity to work with Saryx through a variety of new technology, construction, and modernisation projects.

We value their work in the design, supply and installation of the Wayside Intelligent Longitudinal Stress Management system with the Coal Line and Natcor Line area.”

– Johan du Plessis, Project Manager, Transnet Capital Projects (TCP)

“Saryx did an upgrade of an existing system at Transnet Freight Rail in Saldanha. The new system was installed professionally, on time and without any impact on the service.

The system that was upgraded at Transnet was using an iFIX Server together with the Motorola FEP System. The new system is using WonderWare with the newer HA Motorola FEP. The replacement required the parallel data transfer into the new WonderWare System while still running the iFIX Server. The Parallel solution was used by Saryx to mitigate the risk associated with switching to the new system. Communication from the Motorola FEP to the field is done via RS232. There are 147 outside stations at Transnet that are connected to the system. The interface from the iFIX was redesigned for the WonderWare system with minimal changes done to the overall interface (i.e., everything still looks the same). The new system interfaces perfectly with the old system and no problems were detected during installation and handover.”

– Philip Nell, Electronic Engineer, Transnet Freight Rail

“We have been using Saryx’s HSEC Online® solution and it has made a noticeable improvement on the outdated paper system we were accustomed to. Not only is it a platform to share all relevant legal compliance documentation, but it is also a data basis that can be used to assist with any information that needs to be kept on record.

We use this to share required information with our clients and sub-contractors. We also created additional sites to keep track of employees and documentation as well to ensure our employees and equipment remain legally compliant.

The reminder function assists us in ensuring that we do not miss any crucial expiry dates.

I recommend this solution to any institution currently using a paper-based contractor’s pack system.”

– Johan Nieuwenhuizen, Safety Manager, DIG Mining

“The Saryx team have the highest level of competence with many industrial and IT technologies from power and drive solutions, PLC and control and application, and complex business IT applications.

They can execute the entire engineering scope from detailed design, software applications, commissioning, and after sales lifecycle support that includes application and system training.

As a partner of the Siemens Digital Factory and Process Control and Drive divisions, I can vouch for their ability to execute any application that involves the Siemens product portfolio.”

– Steve Gervasoni, Sales Manager – DF/ PD

“Saryx Engineering Group worked on the RBCT Environmental System. The ESUP system is comprised of the Rainguns System, the Reservoirs, ESUB Substation and the pumps at 20 remote control stations.
