Looking for WHS consultants in Brisbane? Learn how to stay compliant with workplace safety laws through risk assessments, SWMS, ICAM investigations, and emergency management plans.
Workplace health and safety (WHS) compliance is more than just a legal requirement — it’s a core part of protecting your team and your business. In Brisbane and across Queensland, businesses are under increasing pressure to meet strict WHS regulations. Whether you're in construction, mining, electrical services, or civil works, ensuring your workplace is compliant in 2025 is essential.
At Stay Safe Enterprises Pty Ltd, we’re Brisbane-based WHS consultants who specialise in helping businesses meet these requirements through practical, tailored solutions.
1. What is a WHS Risk Assessment?
A WHS risk assessment identifies potential hazards in your workplace and evaluates the risks associated with them. It’s one of the first and most important steps toward compliance. Our team provides site-specific risk assessments in Brisbane to help identify hazards before incidents occur.
2. Why SWMS Are a Must for High-Risk Work
A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is mandatory for all high-risk construction activities. Whether your team is using mobile plant, working at heights, or engaging in excavation, you’ll need a compliant and task-specific SWMS.
Our team at Stay Safe Consultants develops detailed SWMS for Brisbane-based construction sites, tailored to tasks like trenching, confined space work, and live electrical work.
3. Emergency Management Planning That Works
Workplace emergencies happen — but are you prepared? An emergency management plan outlines procedures for evacuation, first aid, fire response, and incident coordination.
We create comprehensive emergency management plans for Brisbane workplaces, aligned with WHS legislation and site-specific risks.
4. Investigating Incidents with ICAM Reporting
When incidents happen, the root cause needs to be properly investigated. Our consultants are trained in the ICAM methodology, which is widely used across mining, civil, and construction industries.
We provide detailed ICAM investigation reports for Brisbane businesses, helping you reduce recurrence and meet compliance obligations.
5. Get a WHS Audit to Identify Gaps Before the Regulator Does
A workplace safety audit is the best way to ensure your systems meet legal requirements. We conduct WHS audits across Brisbane and Queensland, reviewing your safety systems, documents, and procedures.
