Welcome to Stay Safe Enterprises in Brisbane, where we are dedicated to fostering a strong health and safety culture in your workplace. But what exactly does this mean, and why is it so important for your business? Let's break it down in simple, relatable terms.
What is Health and Safety Culture?
Build a Strong Health and Safety Culture in Your Brisbane Workplace
At Stay Safe Enterprises Pty Ltd, we help businesses across Brisbane and South East Queensland create safer, more productive, and legally compliant workplaces by embedding a strong health and safety culture at every level of their organisation.
Our experienced WHS consultants work directly with you to improve your systems, policies, and behaviours — turning compliance into culture and safety into a core business value.
Whether you’re in construction, manufacturing, logistics, education, or professional services, a proactive safety culture reduces incidents, improves employee engagement, and ensures you're aligned with your obligations under the WHS Act 2011 (QLD).
What Is Health and Safety Culture?
Health and safety culture refers to the shared attitudes, beliefs, practices, and values that employees and leadership hold about workplace safety. A positive safety culture drives safe behaviour, open reporting, and continuous improvement.
According to Safe Work Australia and the Brady Review, poor safety culture has been a contributing factor in numerous fatal and serious incidents — particularly where critical controls were assumed, undocumented, or not verified.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (QLD), PCBUs are legally required to ensure:
-
Workers are consulted about safety
-
Workers are trained and competent
-
Risks are identified, communicated, and managed
-
Safety policies are active, not just written
A weak or “paper-based” WHS system is no longer enough — regulators now expect evidence of a living safety culture.
