Accredited Compliance Programs
At NATED Studies South Africa we design our compliance programs to not only adhere to accreditation compliance criteria but also quantifiably contribute towards zero harm. Each site will have its unique legislative framework governing the types of compliance programs that must be completed for each workstream, and this will apply for both employees and contractors. The compliance intervention for each workstream will be made up from a combination of formal accredited programs (working at heights, first aid etc.) and site specific programs (Site induction, Engineering induction etc.). At NATED Studies South Africa we partner with our clients to offer all compliance programs required for all workstreams linked to a specific site. This means that we also tailor our approach to train our facilitators to offer site specific programs together with accredited programs.
The below listed programs are the interventions we normally offer as part of our onboarding compliance training suite. It is important however to note that the programs listed below is not our full service suite. For full details of all the compliance programs we offer, please reach out to a project advisor through the contact us page.

Why a Single Point of Contact for the Onboarding process is Important.
Reducing Onboarding time offers numerous advantages for both service providers and clients. These benefits include minimizing downtime and saving significant costs for clients. By automating the Onboarding process through tools like our MyAlly management platform, it transforms a traditionally manual, administration-heavy process into an integrated online platform accessible to all stakeholders. While Onboarding processes may vary across sites, the foundational elements remain consistent. NATED Studies South Africa comprehends these processes and takes charge of their various components, ensuring a streamlined and efficient procedure. This places accountability and liability squarely with NATED Studies South Africa, easing the client's responsibilities.
Why Non-Sequential Onboarding Matters
The typical contractor onboarding process involves a combination of compliance training and clearance interventions. Compliance Training: This category comprises site-specific safety training, unique client-specific inductions, and accredited regulatory compliance training programs. Clearance Interventions: These include security and medical clearances.
The specific combination of interventions a contractor must complete to gain site access depends on various factors such as the contractor's role, the client, and relevant legislation. Not all contractors require every intervention to achieve compliance.
Traditionally, onboarding processes have been handled sequentially, with security and medical clearances completed before proceeding to compliance training. This sequential approach often relies on third-party services, resulting in delays and unreliable scheduling, further exacerbating inefficiencies in the onboarding process.
At NATED Studies South Africa, we advocate for a hybrid non-sequential onboarding approach. Our automated online system schedules contractors into the most efficient sequence of interventions, eliminating the need for a strict sequential process and significantly enhancing process efficiency.
The conventional sequential onboarding process aims to minimize wastage, particularly concerning beneficiaries completing medical and security clearances before undergoing compliance training. This approach intends to prevent the expense of individuals failing clearances after completing training unnecessarily.
However, our field experience has revealed that this approach results in relatively minor wastage when compared to the substantial costs associated with delays caused by third-party clearance procedures. In light of both direct and indirect onboarding costs, it is far more cost-effective to execute a swift and efficient onboarding process.
