Thermal imaging

See the fault before it stops you.

Most electrical and mechanical failures give a warning first: a loose connection, an overloaded circuit or a worn bearing runs hotter than it should. A thermal imaging scan finds that heat while your equipment runs normally, so Cape Town businesses can fix faults on their own schedule instead of losing a day to unplanned downtime or risking an electrical fire. The report also gives insurers and auditors evidence that your electrical installation is being maintained.

  • Scans under normal load, no shutdown for most boards
  • Every finding ranked by severity
  • Thermal and normal photo of each fault
  • Re-scan after repairs

Why BMS

Compliance through competence.

Any business can buy a safety file. What protects you is people who know how to work safely, and evidence that shows they do.

  1. We build competence, not paperwork.

    Our work is designed so your team can stay compliant after we leave, not so you need us forever.

  2. One team, every discipline.

    Medicals, risk, ISO and training are handled by one team that knows your site, so nothing falls between suppliers.

  3. We name the law.

    Every finding and recommendation is tied to the section of the OHS Act or regulation behind it, so you know why it matters.

We have been working with BMS Holdings for more than five years. BMS makes it easy for us to stay compliant with the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Training

Courses your team will actually use.

After an incident, the first question is usually: "Was the person trained for the job?" The second is: "Can you prove it?" Our courses, and the training records that come with them, help you answer both.

FAQ

Questions we're asked most.

Can't see yours? Call us on 064 549 5312.

Is SHEQ24 part of BMS Holdings?

Yes. SHEQ24 is a BMS Holdings company with its own team and website, sheq24.co.za. It is cloud compliance software that manages the OHS Act, NEMA, COID and ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 on one South African-hosted platform, billed per company rather than per user.

What is My Safety File?

My Safety File is a BMS Holdings company that generates site-specific construction safety files online. A complete file of 351 documents to the OHS Act and the Construction Regulations 2014 takes about 8 minutes and costs R500, with no monthly fees. See mysafetyfile.co.za.

Which health and safety training is a legal requirement?

Several roles must be trained by law. The General Safety Regulations require trained first aiders once a workplace has more than 10 employees, and sections 17 to 19 of the OHS Act require health and safety representatives in workplaces with more than 20 employees. Your emergency plan sets the fire and evacuation teams you need, and specific hazards bring their own training. We look at your workplace and recommend the courses that apply.

What does a health and safety consultant do?

A health and safety consultant helps you meet your duties under the OHS Act. We assess your risks, check your legal compliance, set up your appointments, plans and records, audit how well it all works and build your team's competence, so your health and safety system keeps working after we leave.

What does a thermal imaging inspection find?

A thermal imaging inspection finds components running hotter than they should, which usually means a problem is developing. In electrical boards that includes loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits and unbalanced loads. On machinery it shows worn bearings, misalignment and blocked cooling, often long before the fault causes a breakdown or a fire.

Which medicals does the OHS Act require?

Section 8 of the OHS Act requires a safe and healthy workplace, and specific regulations then set which medicals apply. For example, construction workers need an Annexure 3 medical and noise-exposed workers need audiometry. A health risk assessment shows exactly which medicals your people need.
