About us

Eighteen years of keeping people safe, compliant and prepared

Jones Consulting CC was established in 2008 to bring internationally aligned health, safety, environmental and quality management to organisations of every size — from SMMEs to multinationals, public sector to private industry.

Our story

Built on operational experience, not just theory

Our roots are in the field: emergency care, incident command and frontline safety work dating back to 1999. That operational grounding shapes everything we do — the management systems we design are meant to work at 2am during an incident, not just to pass an audit. Since founding, we have helped clients across the metal working, medical, construction, corporate and education sectors comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the National Environmental Management Act, achieve certification against international ISO standards, and build emergency response capability that saves lives.
