Through a retainer-based program, you will be guided by experts
Comprehensive Site Specific Risk Registers
We build detailed risk registers specific to your workplace; covering physical, chemical, psychosocial, and environmental hazards. Each risk is assessed against likelihood and consequence using a standardised risk matrix aligned to AS/NZS ISO 31000. Our risk registers are structured for ongoing use & updated as your operations evolve, new equipment is introduced, or incident data changes your risk profile.
Task-Based Job Safety Analyses
For non-routine tasks, we develop JSAs, breaking down each task step-by-step to identify the hazards at each point and prescribe controls before work begins. JSAs are essential for construction, plant operation, confined space entry, working at heights, and any task that carries the potential for serious injury or fatality. Written in plain language so workers can use them in the field not filed away and forgotten.
Gap Analysis & Compliance Mapping
We benchmark your existing risk assessment processes against the current WHS legislative requirements for your jurisdiction. Our gap analysis identifies where your documentation, consultation process, or control measures fall short of what regulators expects. All risk are tied to legal obligations registers so you know what the obligations exist that need to be complied with.
Ongoing Risk Review and Advisory Support
Risk is not static. New equipment, work methods, incident data, and regulatory updates all affect your risk profile. HSE Direct provides ongoing risk review support to keep your assessments current and compliant. Through our retainer-based advisory program, your dedicated WHS consultant reviews and updates risk documentation on a scheduled basis; ensuring you maintain due diligence.
Flexible Packages,
Tailored to You.
Most Australian businesses don’t need a full-time safety advisor on the payroll; they need the right expertise, available when it matters. HSE Direct gives you access to qualified WHS consultants who understand workplace risk assessment, hazard management, and WHS legislation without the overhead of a permanent hire. We embed into your operations, learn your business, and deliver compliant risk management support that keeps your team safe and your organisation audit-ready.
