HSE CONNECTION POINT

OUR BACKGROUND:

HSE Connection Point (HSECP) is a non-governmental, Non-prot organization. It was established in 2013 as a result of the frustrations we had been faced with as SHEQ Professionals due to limited assistance and support. We wanted to give back what we had learned through value-added training, general guidance and started shared our amalgamated experiences within the Health, Safety & Environmental fraternity. Our motivating force was to improve, empower the most vulnerable, deprived and previously disadvantaged people and SMME's within Africa. We identied a notable rift between ethnic and other cultural boundaries, and we knew we needed to start working together to bridge the chasm which had been created through historical and current challenges, which we are still plagued with within our continent at large.

OUR CREDENTIALS:

HSE Connection Pont is a 100% black-owned enterprise consisting of historically disadvantaged individuals with a blend of various races, creeds and other foreign nationals. The organisation has a gender mix comprising of male & female staff members, paid members, service providers and consultants of varying ethnicity, experience, competence and qualications across a broad spectrum of industries. We have several advocates, lawyers and other senior professionals which make up our ever-growing membership and some senior CEO's which make up our Corporate Membership. HSE CP received formal registration on the 27th September 2017, as a non-Prot Company and in 2018 we registered as HSE Connection Point, (registered 2017/431079/08). We registered as a non-prot organisation with the Department of Social Development in 2018 (215-977 NPO). We are also registered in 2019 as a Voluntary Organisation with the SACPCMP V/014/2019

VISION:

The organisation initially started with our vision to aid and support fellow HSE Professionals who were struggling to nd support and information within the industry. However, this has since expanded to a much broader vision to be a “go-to” organisation which is a catalyst in producing empowered SHEQ professionals who add notable value to the National Economy, by bringing their expertise to industry and raising the standard of Occupational Health & Safety.Furthermore, we have already started inuencing organs of state and private enterprises through cohesion in a manner that signicantly improves workplace safety standards, forging lasting relations and holding them to task, thus enhancing the lives of many within our continent. One of our primary focusses is empowering the previously disadvantaged communities, poor and inexperienced SHEQ personnel while adding overall value to all sectors within Africa.

The success of this organisation rests deeply rooted in the commitment and engagement of our members.

We have a clear vision and implementation plan and we are already a formidable force as we continue to knock on doors, making our voice heard and addressing several stumbling blocks which are hindering the transformation within Africa.

We shall continue to raise salient issues and work tirelessly until we see the results we are expecting from both government and private sectors.
