Many small and growing businesses need experienced workplace health and safety support, but may not need a full-time safety manager. The Practical Safety Advisory Safety Partner Program provides an ongoing support relationship to help keep safety systems useful, current and connected to the work people do.
Instead of waiting for an incident, audit or urgent client request to reveal a gap, you can get regular, practical help with your documents, systems and workplace questions.
What ongoing support can include
The right support depends on your business, its work and its current safety needs. The program can include regular reviews of policies, registers, templates and other parts of your WHS system, helping you identify what needs attention and keep improvements moving.
Documents should help people do their work safely. Support can include reviewing SWMS, forms, procedures and templates so they are clear, practical and easier for workers and supervisors to use.
When an issue arises, timely guidance can help you work through the next steps. The program can also provide practical assistance after incidents or near misses, in response to client requirements, when a site issue needs attention, or during a compliance review.
A practical fit for your business
WHS needs change as a business grows, takes on different work or faces new requirements. Ongoing support gives you a way to ask questions, review what is in place and plan sensible improvements over time.
The aim is to make safety easier to manage while you focus on running your business. The Safety Partner Program supports your use of practical safety documents and online tools, with advice shaped around your workplace rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Is ongoing support right for you?
If you want to improve your safety systems but do not need a full-time internal safety role, an ongoing support relationship may be a good fit. It can provide access to experienced advice, document reviews, assistance with workplace issues and regular check-ins.
