What we do in Welkom

Your local health and safety consultants.

Induna was founded in 2011 by Casper Maree, whose gold mining career started in 1985. Our consultants have over 300 years of combined experience in mining, engineering and safety. Choose what you need:

Risk assessments in Welkom and the Free State

Codes of Practice (COPs) for Free State mines

Mandatory Codes of Practice written to the DMPR guidelines, clause for clause, in your mine's own format and numbering. Every document the COP refers to is attached as an annexure. Our COPs have been accepted by the DMPR without instructions to revise.

Safety files in Welkom: contractor and construction

No safety file, no site access. We compile contractor safety files to each mine's or client's own index, and construction safety files under the Construction Regulations, so you can start work sooner.

ComplyWorks and mine onboarding in the Goldfields

Getting approved on a mine takes the right documents in the right place. We guide contractors through ComplyWorks registration and uploads, and through onboarding at mines that use their own contractor systems.
