I agree with this but what benefit is SACPCMP for us as safety officers all the things we have to do or to attend is money apparently to earn cpd points.I agree everyone that is in HSE officers must be registered that not anyone that think they can be safety officers by going to do small courses they will be safety officers we that are years in this field had to started from the bottom for where we are today(Limpopo, 2017-08-24)

I'm signing this petition not because I'm against the idea or intentions of the SACPCMP, but its operational capabilities to handle the registrations and CPD of health and safety designations. There's a lack of process maturity , zero optimisation and zero continuous improvement based on the high number of current and past complaints of which they are aware. So basically, they will not be able to improve what they currently cannot manage. So in addition to what the author suggests, open a call centre to handle the influx of calls, "form partnerships with others with similar mandates and ideals" as your "Mission" suggests. Last but not least, the CPD accreditations structure favours only those being paid to facilitate and lessens the effectiveness of empowering previously disadvantaged individuals. Its a monopoly if continues in this fashion. First regulate minimum wage then introduce CPD for cash, because that's what it is currently with the exception of our well established Saiosh which caters and protects the interests of its members....Yours faithfully

I am a member of SAIOSH and the registration was easy got my membership proof withing few days, what is the point to implement a body which is not user friendly and it seems like there is a backlog of applications hence the delay hence no one comes back to our queries on time...we are living an era of technology but clearly SACPCMP needs proper planning and more team to assist us. I am a gradute but cannot apply for jobs due to SACPCMP administration chaos. What is the purpise of the body if people who registered in 2016 still haven't received dates for the assessment, why cant the registrations be split in to different branches so that there can be specific focus to provinces with backlogs? It is doing nothing good but creating frustrations and an increase in unemployment rate.(Johannesburg, 2017-08-24)

I am currently uemployed but qualified safety and the reason for that is because of SACPMP with their bad service as every employer want a registered officer.(Mpumalanga, 2017-08-24)

#420
I'm signing because I am hugely frustrated by the lack of competency of the officials involved. I was told that my 2 essays lacked substance so I changed a few words around and sent it back and have not heard from them since despite them having sat with my application since Aug 2015 and having "lost" my documentation online THREE times!!!(Howick, 2017-08-24)

SACPCMP construction health and safety registration requirements are unnecessary, we have successfully practiced in the field while registered with SAIOSH regulatory voluntary organization successfully. SACPCMP has created unnecessary burden in the industry.(Durban, 2017-08-24)

What a waste of money and time, why must I pay for my profession?This is another form of increasing unemployment rate in our country.

I am signing because sacpmcp is a money making scheme,I submitted all my docs in 2014 with 10 yrs experience and put me as a candidate.When you appeal they want another money.U call to make a follow up they play music.Really it's irritating.#### it must fall.....

Let's stop(Burgersfort, 2017-08-27)
#448
I am signing for the following reasons:* The yearly subscriptions are extremely expensive and a lot of people cannot afford it (they only earn small salaries);
* What the SACPCMP says and what they do is two different things i.e. if you apply in one discipline and you don't qualify you will be a candidate ... this does not happen;
* The accredited people in the industry is now "riding" the gravy train and charging excessive prices for consultation.
Its just another money making exercise and can be seen in recent media means of corruption.

I have had difficulty registering and getting the proper assistance. I also feel that this adds little value to me as a South African as it is expensive to register and maintain this registration(Durban, 2017-08-29)

This body needs to get rid of all corruption and start servicing it's clients the way it should be.(Pietermaritzburg, 2017-08-30)
#458
It is Ridiculous I do not, We do not benefit ANYTHING out of this to pay so much money every year for nothing. This Registration means nothing.(Cape town, 2017-08-30)

SACPCMP MUST FALL(Germiston, 2017-09-03)
#475
SACPCMP takes too long to respond to urgent queries.phone just rings when you call, support from the organization is little to nothing. Sacpcmp just leaves hard working people frustrated therefore sacpcmp must fall or serve with pride.(Durban, 2017-09-03)
#478
im signing because it is not fair that you go and spend your money to be educated and find bodies like SACPCMP limiting you the chance of being employed even when you are willing to register with them it is not fair and this error must be corrected.(Johanessburg, 2017-09-05)
#484
It is a waste of time and money, a person fully qualified should not have to throw away money like this to register to something so ridiculous(Cape Town, 2020-10-17)

It's takes years to be registered. While you loosing opportunities and companies looking for registered ones(Durban, 2020-10-18)

Our government is robbing us in the name of SACPCMP which doesn't add value on the safety profession, with high annual fees and late penalty fees if not paid on time even if we are not working they don't seem to care(Vanderbijlpark, 2020-11-11)
#488
I'm signing this because i am also affected by sacpcmp hogh fees while unemployed, exams outcome came the same result twice 58 which i demanded recheck of my exam paper, i did re submission of documents for Can OHS in March 2020 til today no outcome. waiting period of being Can OHS while you already have more than five years experience before you register plus no considering our previous working experience project before registration.(Tshwane, 2020-11-23)
#492
I feel they are ridiculous in their criteria and fees. Where can any person start off in an industry that does not pay well, and pay these fees. The service is pathetic, and I have not even joined yet. What is in it for me as professional? Do I just pay to create work for others at my cost?(BRITS, 2021-02-22)
#494
Fees are ludicrous. I feel that paying to do a safety course is enough. Now have to pay for registration wich takes ages. Daylight robbery.(Witbank, 2021-03-10)

They must fall I've been waiting so long(Verulam, 2021-04-18)
#501
Now they say they only recognize national higher certificates and diploma, what about people who only did samtrach/shamtrac /comsoc? Are they not supposed to be registered as well? Or they are not recognized as safety officers?(Rustenburg, 2021-04-30)

I received a mail on Sunday to write CHSM exam on the Wednesday.Writting the exam, was only regarding one topic - Ergonomics regulations of the OHS Act.
Questions was also very confusing like Diving regulations fall under the general regulations.

I've been unemployed for 3/5years and the SACPCMP requires me to pay my annual fees. Where to get the money since I'm unemployed, I don't know.(Witbank, 2021-07-08)

It serves no purpose to take the little money that we make and give it to the government. We pay taxes and they still want more. It would have been better if it was treated like an insurance fund whereby we get our money back when we lose our jobs.(Evander, 2021-07-16)

I have been a member of SACPCMP since 2016. I have been happy with the service this board has provided. Since a new system update and transferring of documents to the new system, I have no access to any of the certificates or reports I conducted with SACPCMP. I have sent numerous emails, even as part of our company that did a session with SACPCMP and they promised to sort this out for us in 2020. It's been 7 months later and my 5-year cycle is almost at an end I still can not validate my CPD status and in which areas I need to improve on. Something needs to be done with SACPCMP as it currently seems a completely nonfunctional entity and a complete waste of time, money, and energy. Another prime example of a great value-adding idea that was and is poorly executed. I honestly feel like this board does not care for its members and is only there to make money and not worry about developing and assisting.(brackenfell, 2021-09-28)

The SACPCMP is absolutely useless. It took me 3 years to register at first (2015-2018). It is now taking 11 month for them to allocate my 2021 annual payment fees. Totally incompetent(Springbok, 2021-12-07)
#513
Not satisfied with this registration. Cant get any response from them but i get emails all the time to pay my annual registration fee(Springs, 2021-12-10)
