FAQ

SHEQSafeGuard Questions

When will SHEQSafeGuard be available?

SHEQSafeGuard is currently in development. Register your interest via our contact form and we will notify you as soon as it is ready for release or early access.

Will it be a once-off licence like Silica Payroll?

Yes. Like all Silica Office products, SHEQSafeGuard will be sold on a once-off licence basis with no monthly subscription. Pricing will be published closer to release.

Does it comply with the OHS Act?

Yes. SHEQSafeGuard is being built specifically around the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993) and the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COID Act). It covers legal appointments, incident classifications, compliance calendars and SHE file management.

Can I use it alongside Silica Payroll?

Yes. SHEQSafeGuard is a standalone product that runs independently. Employee data does not need to be shared between systems, but we are exploring optional integration for future versions.

What are the system requirements?

SHEQSafeGuard will run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit), the same as our other products. SQL Server Express will be included in the installer. Detailed requirements will be published closer to release.
