Thero Services, under the directive of the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (GDID), played a pivotal role in ensuring Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance across nine hospitals within Gauteng Province. The hospitals they serviced included Helen Joseph Hospital. With an in-depth understanding of South African OHS legislation, international best practices, and Infrastructure Unit Support Systems (IUSS) standards, Thero Services meticulously assessed each hospital's infrastructure to identify areas of concern and implemented necessary measures to enhance safety protocols. Their comprehensive inspections covered general wards, storage facilities, and sanitation practices, ensuring every aspect of hospital operations met regulatory requirements to safeguard the well-being of staff and patients.

Furthermore, Thero Services took charge of building and infrastructure compliance, addressing critical aspects such as building codes, structural integrity, and accessibility standards. Through close collaboration with the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development, Thero Services tailored solutions to rectify infrastructural deficiencies identified during assessments, ensuring compliance with local and international building regulations. This proactive approach not only upheld compliance but also bolstered the resilience and efficiency of hospital facilities, ultimately enhancing their capacity to deliver quality healthcare services to the community.
