Every workplace with real hazards — an underground mine, a pulp mill, a sugar factory, a construction site — is legally required to identify those hazards and assess the risk they pose before anyone gets hurt. That systematic process is HIRA: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, and it’s one of the most widely required safety qualifications across Mpumalanga’s industrial base.
United Training Centre trains job-seekers in Nelspruit for an accredited HIRA qualification. The course runs 3 days and costs R2,500, covering the practical skills to identify hazards and assess risk in any workplace.

Spotting Risk Before It Becomes an Incident — What HIRA Work Looks Like
A HIRA isn’t a one-time paperwork exercise — it’s an ongoing process of walking a site, identifying what could go wrong, rating how likely and how severe each hazard is, and putting controls in place before an incident happens rather than reacting after one does. Sites ranging from underground mines to packhouse cold stores all rely on this same systematic method, adapted to their specific hazards.
HIRA work covers conducting structured hazard walkthroughs, rating and prioritising risks, and recommending or implementing controls that actually reduce the risk rather than just documenting it.
The OHS Act specifically requires employers to conduct risk assessments and keep them updated, which means every site needs people trained to actually carry that out.
⛏️ MINING AND HEAVY INDUSTRY
Underground operations like Barberton’s mines and industrial sites like Sappi Ngodwana require ongoing HIRA processes as conditions change.
🏭 MANUFACTURING, MILLING AND PACKHOUSE OPERATIONS
Sugar mills, packhouses and manufacturing facilities across the Lowveld also require documented hazard identification and risk assessment.
🏗️ CONSTRUCTION SITES
Construction projects across Mbombela and the wider region require HIRA as part of standard Construction Regulations compliance.
