A brief history

2015

Where it all started

Two seasoned professionals with extensive experience in construction and mining were visiting a rural property in South Africa. When there was an incident involving a contractor. Highlighting a critical gap in the industry: The lack of a reliable system for artisans.

This firsthand experience underscored the urgent need for a standardized approach to assessing competence and adherence to industry regulations.

Recognizing this deficiency, these professionals developed a comprehensive in-house standard. Encompassing key factors essential for various trade disciplines. This framework, subsequently named the SRA standard, aims to elevate industry safety and quality through rigorous processes. And takes the artisans safety and wellbeing into consideration. Including that of the end user.
