Resources & Alerts

A Safety Management System (SMS) is a structured framework that helps businesses identify, manage, and reduce health and safety risks in the workplace. It ensures compliance with legislative obligations, enhances site safety, and is often a requirement for tender prequalification. Whether you’re a small subcontractor or a Tier 1 builder, an effective SMS is essential to demonstrate due diligence, minimise incidents, and maintain your legal obligations.

Our systems are designed to scale. The HarmSafe range is offered in three tiers — Lite, Plus, and PRO — to support everything from basic WHS legislative compliance through to ISO certification and OFSC accreditation. We tailor each system to reflect your business size, risk profile, industry, and client requirements. We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach — our documentation reflects how your business actually operates, not how we think it should.

Depending on the tier and scope, your HarmSafe system may include:

1. Safety Management Manual
2. Company-specific policies and procedures
3. Emergency response plans
4. Customised forms and templates (e.g. risk assessments, inductions, toolbox talks)
5. WHS registers (e.g. training, incidents, hazardous chemicals, test & tag, plant and equipment)
6. ISO-aligned documentation (ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001)
7. Risk management tools and inspection checklists
8. OFSC-specific documentation (HarmSafe PRO only)

Each system is tailored to your operations, goals, and any contractual or legal obligations. We support you with consultation, setup, and optional ongoing compliance support to ensure the system is practical, usable, and aligned to your business.

Yes. We don’t just hand over documents — we guide you through implementation. This includes onboarding your team, compliance briefings, and training on system usage. We can also assist on an ad-hoc or ongoing basis to help free up time for business owners and staff.

Absolutely. HarmSafe Plus aligns with ISO 45001, and HarmSafe PRO supports ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OFSC accreditation. Our documentation is audit-ready and designed to align with these frameworks. We also offer consultancy and audit support to help clients gain or maintain certification and accreditation.

We specialise in the construction industry — including residential, commercial, and associated trades — but also support clients in manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and service-based sectors. Any business operating in a high-risk environment or requiring strong safety governance can benefit from our systems.

We offer flexible support packages to ensure your system stays compliant and effective over time, including:

1. Scheduled compliance check-ins
2. WHS inspections and site audits
3. System updates and documentation reviews
4. Project-specific safety documentation (e.g. SWMS, risk assessments)
5. Incident investigations and reporting assistance
6. Ongoing WHS consultancy and advisory services

If we can’t help with a specific need, we’ll refer you to someone in our trusted network — covering everything from HR and insurance to medicals, testing services, and IT.

Timeframes vary depending on the tier, your internal resources, and funding (e.g. Business Growth Program). As a guide:

1. HarmSafe Lite: 1–6 months
2. HarmSafe Plus / PRO: 6–8 months (including consultation, development, and implementation)

We’ll discuss your needs upfront to ensure the timeline aligns with your business and compliance goals.

Our systems are designed to be user-friendly and flexible. If your team has the resources, you can manage the system internally using our clear documentation, templates, and guidance.

That said, many clients choose to engage us for ongoing support — from 10 to 80 hours per month — particularly during initial implementation or when preparing for certification. We offer check-ins, audits, and tailored advice as needed. You’re in control — we’re here when you need us.

We offer end-to-end WHS consultancy services tailored to the construction and high-risk industries. Our services include:

1. HarmSafe Safety Management Systems (Lite, Plus, PRO)
2. ISO 45001, ISO 9001 & ISO 14001-aligned systems
3. OFSC accreditation documentation and support
4. Project safety management and planning
5. Subcontractor safety pack management
6. SWMS, risk assessments, and site-specific documentation
7. Compliance audits and gap analysis
8. Onsite WHS inspections and project risk consulting
9. Training and system implementation

Our goal is to deliver practical, scalable, and audit-ready solutions that support your operations and help you meet compliance obligations without the overwhelm.
