What SOGRISEL does

SOGRISEL (Sociedad para la Gestión de Riesgos y Seguridad Laboral Sogrisel) is a Bogotá-based Colombian consulting and training company that delivers occupational risk management and workplace safety services to large enterprises across multiple economic sectors and to insurance sector partners. Its stated purpose is to move Occupational Safety and Health (SG-SST) beyond regulatory compliance into measurable safety culture transformation, addressing Colombia's documented workplace safety burden — over 533,000 workplace accidents annually, more than 26,000 occupational diseases in 2023, and over 430 workplace deaths.

The company's offering is organized into seven branded service lines: Sogrisel Sistemas de Gestión (management system design and auditing), Sogrisel Certifica (internationally certified training), Sogrisel Gestión SST (occupational health and safety management), Sogrisel Emergencias (emergency preparedness), Sogrisel Psicosocial (psychosocial risk management), Sogrisel Vial (road safety), and Sogrisel Ambiental (environmental management). Service delivery blends traditional consulting with technology-enabled training, including an immersive driving simulator and virtual reality platforms that recreate risk scenarios without physical exposure. Its certified course catalog — POSH, defensive driving (DDC/PTD), forklift operations, lifting equipment, work at heights, first aid/CPR/AED, and online driver training — is aligned with international standards from OSHA, ANSI, ASME, the American Heart Association, the US National Safety Council (NSC), and the North American Crane Bureau (NACB). The firm holds NSC authorization as an authorized Training Center and oversight body in Colombia.

SOGRISEL operates a professional services business model, monetizing consulting engagements on a project basis and certified courses per participant or course delivery. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, augmented by a content-marketing engine (blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp), recurring industry-event participation (Andesco Macrorrueda, AmCham Colombia, ORP Foundation, Colombian Society of Occupational Medicine), and direct inbound via website and phone. The company is founder-led under CEO Juan Camilo Benavides Rojas, operates exclusively within Colombia, and shows no public funding rounds, parent entity, or institutional investors in the available data.
