[ CONTRACTOR SCREENING ]

An accepted screening provider at South Africa's major mines.

Most major South African mines list PVB Group among their approved contractor screening providers. We run every check against the same national databases that all accredited providers work from — the source records don't change between vendors.

What changes is the work around them. We hold each result to a tighter quality-assurance process before it reaches your site: documents are re-checked against the primary source, exceptions are flagged for review rather than passed through, and nothing is signed off until it stands up to scrutiny.

If a company on your supply chain isn't yet set up to accept our reports, let us know. We're glad to reach out and arrange a meeting with the right people on their side to get it sorted.
