HarmSafe-OFSC – WHS System for Federal Safety Accreditation
Achieve OFSC Accreditation with HarmSafe-OFSC – Your Gateway to Federally Funded Projects
Securing projects under the Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme requires more than just a solid safety record — it demands a fully compliant, structured, and auditable WHS Management System that meets the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC) requirements.
At PRSNT, we’ve developed HarmSafe-OFSC, a purpose-built WHS management solution designed to help contractors and builders achieve and maintain OFSC accreditation. Whether you’re applying for the first time or upgrading an existing system, HarmSafe-OFSC ensures you’re audit-ready, aligned with the Scheme’s requirements, and well-positioned to win federally funded construction contracts.
Why OFSC Accreditation Matters
The Federal Safety Commissioner’s WHS Accreditation Scheme applies to all building work funded directly or indirectly by the Australian Government. Without it, you’re excluded from lucrative federal infrastructure projects and large-scale works across the country.
OFSC accreditation demonstrates that your business:
- Meets high safety performance standards
- Implements and maintains robust WHS systems
- Is committed to continuous improvement
- Operates at a level suitable for high-risk, high-value works
What HarmSafe-OFSC Includes:
Our HarmSafe-OFSC system is mapped directly to the current OFSC Audit Criteria and integrates key components of ISO 45001, but with the additional rigour and evidence requirements that OFSC demands.
You’ll receive:
- WHS Management Plan aligned with OFSC Scheme Criteria
- OFSC-aligned policies and procedures across 13+ audit elements
- Roles and responsibilities documentation
- Worker engagement and consultation frameworks
- Subcontractor management tools
- Training registers
- High-risk construction work (HRCW) planning and SWMS integration
- Safe design, plant and equipment safety protocols
- Site induction procedures and competency checks
- Environmental and rehabilitation controls (where required)
- Documented performance monitoring, audit and review process
We also help embed a culture of safety leadership through implementation planning, toolbox materials, and role-specific training.
