F.A.Q.
Some client questions answered directly
Yes, absolutely. Every Safety Management Plan (SMP) and Risk Assessment we develop is strictly aligned with the Cameroon Labour Code (Law No. 92/007) and the specific decrees from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MINTSS). We bridge the gap between international best practices (like ISO 45001) and local regulatory requirements to ensure your project is both safe and legally compliant during government inspections.
The freelance model offers you senior-level expertise without the heavy overhead of a large safety firm or a full-time executive salary. At Lofors Freelance Safety, you get a dedicated expert who integrates with your team for specific projects, audits, or training sessions. This allows for more agility, direct communication with the lead consultant (Sama Lofor), and cost-effective solutions tailored specifically to your project’s timeline.
The most frequent risk we encounter is Work at Height without proper fall protection and a lack of structured Toolbox Talks. In the local context, equipment might be available, but the “safety culture” is often missing. We address this by implementing a “Safety First” mindset through practical, on-site demonstrations and establishing a rigorous Permit to Work (PTW) system that ensures no high-risk activity begins without a formal hazard check.
Yes. We are fully mobile and equipped to conduct site visits and safety audits across all regions of Cameroon. Whether it is a maritime project in Kribi, refinery-related work in Limbe, or infrastructure development in the North, we provide on-ground support. We also offer remote consultancy and documentation review for clients who need quick turnarounds on safety manuals and risk registers.
