1. Statutory Machinery Governance: GMR 2 Appointments
South Africa's automotive manufacturing hubs - concentrated in Pretoria (Rosslyn/Silverton), Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), East London, and Durban - operate high-speed, automated production lines with massive electrical and mechanical power.
Under General Machinery Regulation 2, the employer must appoint a competent person in writing to supervise the operation and maintenance of all machinery. Where machinery exceeds 1,200 kW capacity, the appointee must hold a valid Government Certificate of Competency (GCC).
Diba BES works alongside factory directors and GMR 2 engineers to audit physical machine safety, draft compliant standard operating procedures, and conduct incident root-cause investigations.
