    Spire Safety provides WHS compliance auditing, safety management systems, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting to businesses in Tamworth and across the New England and North West region of New South Wales — from the Taminda industrial area and the Global Gateway freight precinct through to civil and electrical contractors, transport operators, agribusiness processors and the contractors working the region's renewable energy and transmission projects.

    We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first. In practice that means the bulk of a Tamworth engagement — the gap assessment, the system build, the documentation, the audit preparation and the review — is done offsite, so you are not paying for airfares and accommodation on top of the work. We have worked in every state and territory and can attend a New England site where a physical walk-through genuinely changes the outcome. Where it doesn't, we don't charge you for the trip.

    Every engagement is led by a senior consultant. You deal directly with the person scoping the work, writing the report and presenting the findings.

    Tamworth FAQ

    WHS consulting in Tamworth — common questions

    01Do you carry out WHS compliance audits in Tamworth?
    Yes. Spire Safety audits Tamworth businesses against the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), the WHS Regulation 2017 and the relevant SafeWork NSW Codes of Practice. We work with operators across the Tamworth Global Gateway freight precinct, the Taminda industrial area and the wider New England and North West. You receive a written report with prioritised findings and a clear close-out path — not a tick-and-flick checklist.
    02Can you build a WHS management system for a Tamworth business?
    Yes. We build practical safety management systems aligned to ISO 45001 for Tamworth operations of any size — civil and electrical contractors, transport and freight yards, poultry and agribusiness processors, engineering workshops and equine and agricultural enterprises. The documents are written around how your business actually runs, so the system holds up in a SafeWork NSW visit and your supervisors will actually use it.
    03Do you handle ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 readiness in Tamworth?
    Yes — readiness, not certification. We run the gap assessment, build the documentation, complete the internal audit and coach your team through the stage 1 and stage 2 audits. The certificate itself is issued by a JAS-ANZ accredited certification body. Keeping consulting and certification separate is the only way to avoid the conflict of interest the standards prohibit.
    04Can you help contractors working on New England renewable energy projects?
    Yes. Subcontractors on renewable energy and transmission work in the New England region are routinely asked for a documented safety management system, SWMS for high risk construction work, plant and maintenance records, competency registers and evidence of internal auditing. We build that evidence set once, properly, so it satisfies the principal contractor's prequalification rather than being rewritten for every new package.
    05Are you based in Tamworth?
    No. Spire Safety is Brisbane-based and delivers remote-first across Australia. Most Tamworth work — system builds, documentation, audit preparation, desktop compliance review and remote internal audits — is delivered offsite, which keeps travel out of your quote. We have worked in every state and territory and can attend a New England site where the scope genuinely calls for it, such as a physical site inspection or a high-risk plant review.
    06Who will I actually be dealing with?
    A senior consultant. Tamworth engagements are led by the same person who scopes the job, writes the report and presents the findings, so you are speaking to the consultant doing the work from the first call through to close-out.
