WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Palmerston businesses — with ISO 45001 readiness and broader WHS consulting from the same senior team.
Spire Safety provides WHS compliance auditing, safety management systems, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting to businesses in Palmerston and across the Top End of the Northern Territory — builders and civil contractors, transport and warehousing operators, fabrication and mechanical workshops, facilities and maintenance providers, and the trades working out of the Yarrawonga and Pinelands estates.
Palmerston is the Territory's growth city, and most of the WHS pressure here comes from subcontracted work: residential and commercial builds, government-funded civil projects, and logistics moving between East Arm, Berrimah and the Palmerston estates. Contractor verification, high risk work licensing, plant and traffic separation, heat illness controls and incident reporting are the areas a regulator or a head contractor examines first.
We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first. The bulk of a Palmerston engagement — gap assessment, system build, documentation, audit preparation and review — is delivered offsite, so travel doesn't inflate the quote. We have worked in every state and territory and can attend a Palmerston 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.
Independent audits against the WHS Act, Regulations and Codes of Practice — with a written report you can act on.
Practical safety management systems built around your operation — not template dumps.
Readiness for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — gap review, documentation and audit support.
General WHS advisory, incident support and project-based safety help — on-site or remote.
A short walkthrough of how our independent WHS compliance audits are scoped, run and reported for Northern Territory operations.



Palmerston engagements are led by Tanya Protasova — 10 years across construction and engineering, specialising in AS/ISO-aligned management systems — alongside Nathan Owen, who brings 15 years across WHS and HSEQ, postgraduate qualifications in WHS and business, and a tertiary teaching background that shows in how findings are written and explained. On larger jobs Jodie Rice steps in for risk management, system implementation and auditing.
Recent and ongoing engagements include Australia-wide clients such as Greyhound Australia, Australian Energy Market Operator, Total Tools, Bluecare, Shapland Swim Schools, St Barbara.
We don't publish a full client list — most engagements involve confidential documentation and findings.
