RMA Registration
Register your business with Rand Mutual Assurance
If your business operates in mining, iron and steel manufacturing or a related industry, your employees’ workplace injury and disease cover is provided by Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) rather than the Compensation Fund. We complete your RMA registration and earnings declaration forms, submit them for you and follow up until you’re registered.

What is RMA?
Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) is licensed under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) to provide workers’ compensation cover for employers in the mining, iron and steel and related industries. These industries carry a higher risk of injury and disease, so RMA handles their employees’ claims instead of the Compensation Fund.
Who needs to register?
Employers in higher-risk industries register with RMA.
Mining companies and contractors
Iron and steel manufacturers
Businesses in related industries
Any employer in these industries with employees

2. Pay your assessment

3. Letter of good standing

Why it matters
Employers must register for workplace injury and disease cover. Without it, you may be personally liable if an employee is injured, and you won’t be able to get a letter of good standing, which clients and mines often require before you can work on site.
How we do it

1. Complete the online application
2. Send us your documents
3. We submit to RMA and keep you updated
