Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Coffs Harbour horticulture, construction, transport and care businesses — plus ISO 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting from the same senior team.
Spire Safety provides WHS compliance auditing and safety management system development to Coffs Harbour businesses, along with ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and ongoing WHS consulting. The audit is usually the starting point: a clear-eyed review of your system against the WHS Act 2011 (NSW), the WHS Regulation 2017 and the Codes of Practice, and against what your customers ask for before they engage you.
The Coffs Coast economy leans on horticulture — bananas, blueberries and other berries, and the packing sheds and cold chain behind them — alongside building and civil construction, road transport and logistics, health, aged care and disability services, education, retail and a substantial tourism and hospitality sector. A lot of that work is seasonal, which changes how induction, supervision and consultation have to be run.
The resulting risk profile is specific: mobile plant and pedestrian interaction in sheds and orchards, quad bikes and side-by-sides, manual handling and repetitive tasks on grading lines, hazardous chemicals and agricultural chemicals, heat and UV exposure, working at height, labour hire and contractor duties, and language and literacy barriers with seasonal workers. We write the system to suit that reality. We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across New South Wales.
