Planning Before Execution

Hot work permits, controlled work areas, barricading, and hazard identification are completed ahead of every welding, cutting, or repair activity. This approach reflects a simple principle: on sites where a vessel cannot be taken offline, or a plant handles hazardous material, planning must do the work that risk taking cannot.

Our Standard Practice

Hot work control is applied on every welding and cutting activity, regardless of environment, whether marine, chemical, or industrial.

Permit to work systems are coordinated with site SHE requirements before work proceeds.

Every completed repair is visually inspected and signed off prior to handover.

Backed by Accreditation

Uduhu Holdings holds ISO 45001:2018 certification for occupational health and safety management, a globally recognised standard that reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing workplace incidents and improving performance across every project.

Safety at Uduhu Holdings is not a final checkpoint. It is built into how every project is planned from the outset, a discipline led across our sites by Frank Makobe: understand the hazard, establish the control, then proceed with the work.

Uduhu Holdings is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified. For enquiries about our safety approach on your next project, contact admin@uduhu.co.za
