AirCHECK

What AirCHECK does

AirCHECK is a South African occupational hygiene, environmental, and training services firm structured as a Close Corporation, headquartered in Bryanston, Johannesburg, with a satellite office in Knysna (Western Cape). The company delivers statutory inspections, surveys, and advisory services across manufacturing, engineering, construction, chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, mining, and governmental sectors, with more than 30 years of collective professional experience. Its core offerings include Occupational Health Risk Assessments, Occupational Hygiene Surveys (noise, lighting, vibration, hazardous chemical agents, asbestos, lead, ventilation, indoor air quality, ergonomics, and COVID-19), Environmental Services (baseline pollution assessments for air, water, and soil), Design Consultancy for new and refurbished workplaces, and on-site Training Services. A central technical asset is a fully equipped SANAS-recognised Asbestos and Gravimetrical Analysis Laboratory providing PLM, PCM, gravimetric, and microbiological testing.

The firm operates under two regulatory anchors: Approved Inspection Authority status granted by the Department of Employment and Labour under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (85 of 1993) for monitoring of asbestos, lead, hazardous chemical agents, and noise, and SANAS accreditation as an Inspection Body under ISO/IEC 17020:2012 for Type A Inspections of workplace environmental factors. These accreditations are hard regulatory prerequisites for the bulk of AirCHECK's revenue, and the firm's employees are registered with the Southern African Institute for Occupational Hygiene (SAIOH) and serve on professional advisory committees.

Revenues are generated through professional services engagements delivered on-site at client premises, quote-based and not publicly priced. The firm operates a sales-led, direct-engagement model targeting employers who require statutory compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Pricing is not disclosed, no funding rounds or institutional investors are recorded, and the company is independently owned. No AI or software platforms are part of the delivery model; service quality rests on registered professionals, accredited laboratory methods, and regulatory standing.
