NOSA Five Star System
Overview
The NOSA Five Star System provides an independent audit outcome to clients in the quest to uphold the best principles of occupational risk management in everyday business operations. The NOSA 10-step audit process is based on a risk-driven approach. Measurement and evaluation of standards/requirements should be in accordance with process/site-specific risks rather than fixed or invariable criteria. The audit identifies a company’s strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement in the day-to-day management of their HSE risks. The grading of a company’s system forms the basis of our internationally acclaimed NOSA Integrated Five Star System. Clients are awarded up to five stars and a NOSCAR as a symbol of occupational risk management excellence. General disclosures as per GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) requirements, related to sustainability and, ESG are now also part of our NOSA-integrated HSE audits. Not considered for star grading purposes, but reported on in the executive summary. The NOSA Five Star System identifies non-conformances, and areas of excellence and offers solutions through consultancy and training products, where required. We are the proud host of NOSHCON which is the well-recognised global HSE conference.

NOSCAR Awards
The NOSA Integrated Five Star System is a framework for action and compliance that can be implemented anywhere in the world, for any industry type, and for any company of any size or structure. The system is driven by risk, thus minimum requirements can be tailored to the specific hazards of your industry, and your corporate and national requirements. Zero harm/fatality prevention is the ultimate goal.
Industry/sector types where it can be implemented:
- Manufacturing
- Mining (opencast, underground, quarries, coal, surface plant, hard rock and other minerals)
- Healthcare
- Forestry
- Office/administration
- Farming
- Construction
- Utilities
- Chemical
- Education
NOSA offers a holistic range of auditing services, from basic legal compliance audits to integrated health, safety and environmental (HSE) management system audits.
NOSA provides auditing services on any of the following systems/standards:
- Baseline / GAP audits
- 5 Star-grading audits on –
- NOSA Five Star System Standard (health and safety) and NOSA Integrated Five Star System (health, safety and environment)
- NOSA integrated and aligned five-star system standard (including corporate governance and social responsibility)
- NOSA contractor compliance audits (basic health and safety system)
- NOSA legal compliance opinions (in terms of Occupational Health and Safety and Mine Health and Safety Act requirements)
- Client specific – corporate standards / assurance audits
- Limited scope – incident management, maintenance system, etc.
A baseline/GAP audit is used as a basis for identifying deviations between a client’s management system and NOSA’s HSE Management Systems (the ideal state). The baseline audit serves as a consultative exercise, and while the client will receive a detailed site report, no star grading will be allocated. The audit focuses largely on OHS/HSE risks, and identifies any shortcomings of the OHS/HSE system on the client’s site.
A star-grading audit is conducted to determine the status of a client’s risk management system and compliance with the applicable NOSA protocol. The audit is typically conducted annually, but can be done more frequently, if requested by the client. The outcome of the audit can then be displayed as proof of a NOSA star grading.
NOSA’s consulting services comprise a team of highly qualified experts in environmental control, occupational health and hygiene, risk management and safety disciplines.
To assist with hazard/aspect identification (HIRA), hierarchal control development, to effectively eliminate occupational hazards, NOSA’s expert team helps negotiate and manage the challenges of modern business.
Strategic alliances have been formed with global environmental consultancies to facilitate service delivery excellence to all industries across the African continent, as well as the Middle East.
Client-specific needs are our focus and the NOSA consulting services team takes a bespoke approach for effective solutions to suit your operations. We also strive to deliver OHS/HSE processes that are sustainable and easily managed by the client’s on-site teams.
The NOSCAR is recognised as the highest level of excellence within the Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental risk management industry. These awards are a key part of recognising and acknowledging NOSA South African and International clients (companies on both the NOSA Five Star System and the NOSA Integrated Five Star System), who have achieved excellence during the period under review.
We are thrilled to congratulate all the achievers at the NOSCAR Awards. These awards celebrate those who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and accomplishment in the NOSA Five Star System and the NOSA Integrated Five Star System. This event marked our first face-to-face gathering post-COVID-19, held at the Maslow Hotel on Friday the 29th of September. The Ndlovu Youth Choir graced us with their performance, and we were delighted to see a record number of attendees – a testament to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the event.
We proudly recognised the following:
- NOSCAR winners, both platinum and green awards
- Top three company awards were distributed across the commercial, manufacturing, and mining sectors.
- International SIC winners and notable individuals were also honored.
View the full list of winners for the period ending March 2023.
