Three unrelated South African businesses trade as RSC, and two of them share a switchboard because they are part of the same group. Working out which one you want before you dial saves a transfer, so this page sets out all three.
RSC Group, industrial services
The oldest of them, founded in 1987 as Rand Sandblasting, does abrasive blasting, industrial coatings, corrosion protection, scaffolding, rope access and insulation across Africa.

- RSC Coastal: 031 940 0017, Unit 7 Greenhills Business Centre, 1451 Chris Hani Road, Redhill, Durban
- Email: [email protected]
The group publishes contact numbers for its African operations, which trade as Sandblasting and Coatings in each country. Several of them route back to the Krugersdorp switchboard.

RSC Consulting, supply chain
A separate and unrelated business trading as RSC Dynamic Supply Chain Management. Treat its published contact details with care: at the time of writing its website still carries unedited template placeholders, including a foreign phone number, an example gmail address and a New York address, alongside what appear to be its real ones. Confirm any number with the company directly before relying on it. It is not connected to the Krugersdorp group above.
Which RSC do you want
- Blasting, painting, scaffolding or corrosion work on a plant or a ship: RSC Group on 011 955 3505
- Buying overalls, boots, gloves or safety gear: RSC Industrial Supplies, and call the branch nearest you
- Supply chain or logistics consulting: RSC Consulting, which is a different company entirely
- A radio station: RSG, not RSC, is the SABC Afrikaans station
Complaints and escalation
- Group and supplies complaints both start on 011 955 3505 or [email protected]
- For a workplace safety or PPE compliance concern, the Department of Employment and Labour inspectorate is the regulator
- For an unresolved supply contract dispute, the National Consumer Commission handles complaints against suppliers
