Traxtion’s SHREQ function exists to protect people, operations and the environment by building a strong internal safety culture. Instead of relying on punitive systems, we focus on guiding behaviour, preventing shortcuts and keeping safety front of mind across all teams.

Our work centres on proactively identifying risks, supporting operational teams, and ensuring the organisation meets all regulatory and quality requirements for safe rail operations.

Traxtion operates in full compliance with the following legislation, standards and regulatory frameworks:

• SANS 3000-1 and all Railway Safety Regulator Standards & Regulations
• Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) requirements
• ISO 9001 Quality Management System
• ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety
• Occupational Health & Safety Act (Act 85)
• Mine Health & Safety Act (Act 29)
• Environmental Management Act (Act 107)
• National Railway Act (Act 30)

These accreditations support safe, reliable operations across both public and private rail networks.

Traxtion’s SHREQ team provides practical, hands-on support to operational teams and customers through:

• RSR and QMS system audits
• Safety consultancy and management reviews
• Operational risk assessments
• Network and level-crossing risk assessments
• Railway permit applications
• System maintenance and compliance oversight
• Safety training and workplace behaviour reinforcement
• Document control for safety-critical systems
• Development of Safety Management Systems

During audits and assessments, SHREQ provides recommendations, safety-talk content and improvement actions that reduce incidents, improve reliability and strengthen overall performance.
