Rapid Safety Files
How it works

How it works: from quote to file in 60 minutes.

Three steps for you, two for us. You get a quote in 60 seconds, pay R2,000, and fill in a 5-minute project setup form. We compile your safety file — selected against your project from a library of regulation-derived templates — and reviewed by OHS professionals with more than 30 years of South African construction safety experience before delivery. The Compliance Rationale Report ships alongside it. All within 60 minutes of payment. Site-ready.

The four steps, in detail.

  1. 1

    Get a quote

    60 seconds

    Pick your trade, your project size, and whether you need a tender pack. The price is on screen as you choose — no "request a quote" form, no consultant follow-up. You enter your email and phone so we can send you the quote PDF and the payment link.

  2. 2

    Pay

    30 seconds

    The quote email has a single "Approve & Pay" button. Click it, land on PayFast, pay by card or instant EFT. PayFast is the South African payment processor used by most local SaaS — secure, EFT-friendly, no card storage on our side.

  3. 3

    Tell us about your project

    5 minutes

    A short form covering site address, principal contractor, start date, duration, headcount, and a handful of trade-specific questions (working at heights, hot work, confined spaces — only if they apply). Save and resume if you need to fetch something.

  4. 4

    Receive your file

    60 minutes from payment

    Your safety file lands in your inbox. One PDF, print-ready, with the Compliance Rationale Report alongside it. Reviewed before delivery — every file, every time.

What we need from you.

Six things — the kind of detail you'd have on a project kick-off email. None of it requires you to know the OHS Act.

  • Site address and the principal contractor name
  • Project start date and expected duration in weeks
  • Number of employees who will be on site
  • A brief scope (e.g. "rewire of a single-storey factory, 1,200m²")
  • Trade-specific details — voltages for electrical, depth and shoring for excavation, etc.
  • Your email — the file lands as a signed download link

What we deliver.

One electronic package, sent within 60 minutes of payment. Both documents in one delivery.

  • The safety file PDF — site-specific, OHS Act 85 of 1993 and Construction Regulations 2014 aligned
  • A detailed document index — every document listed by name
  • The Compliance Rationale Report — every document justified by a section of legislation
  • Print-ready formatting — ready to bind for the site copy
  • Both files delivered as a signed email link — one click, one download

What happens behind the scenes.

When your project details arrive, our system selects the right documents from a library of regulation-derived templates — risk assessments, method statements, legal appointments, registers, permits — based on the trades, hazards, and project conditions you described. OHS professionals with more than 30 years of South African construction safety experience review the file before it goes out, so the document set is correct for the specific job and the Compliance Rationale Report matches the documents included.

The substance is straightforward: documents selected against your project, reviewed before delivery. The result is a file that's defensible at the gate and sized to the actual work — not a generic pack with everything in it.

FAQs about the process.

What information do I need to give you?
Standard project info: site address, principal contractor name, project start date and duration, number of employees on site, and a brief scope. The trade-specific section adds detail relevant to your trade — for electrical it's voltage levels and working at height; for plumbing it's confined-space work and excavation. The full setup takes about 5 minutes.
What if I get the project details wrong?
Tell us as soon as you spot it. Edits made before delivery are free. Edits after delivery, if minor (typo in a name, corrected start date), are free and turned around within 24 hours. Material changes — different site, different trades — are treated as a new file.
Can I see the file before I pay?
Not before payment. We don't generate drafts on spec. What you're paying for is described in plain language on the home page's "What's included" section, and the R2,000 includes a satisfaction guarantee — if the file doesn't meet your needs, talk to us.
Can I get a printed copy?
Yes — +R250 for a printed and bound copy couriered to your site or office. Request it at delivery time, not at quote time, because printed copies are produced after the digital file is finalised.
What if I need it faster than 60 minutes?
60 minutes is our promise; in practice most files go out in 30–45 minutes during business hours. If you have a true emergency — site agent at the gate, crew waiting — email hello@rapidsafetyfiles.co.za with EMERGENCY in the subject line first, and we'll tell you what's possible.
