Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Bundaberg agriculture, food processing, manufacturing and construction 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 Bundaberg businesses, along with ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and ongoing WHS consulting. The audit is usually the sensible starting point: a clear review of your system against the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), the WHS Regulation 2011 and the Codes of Practice, and against what your customers ask to see before they engage you.
The Bundaberg and Wide Bay economy runs on sugar cane and milling, macadamias, small crops and horticulture, food and beverage manufacturing, engineering and fabrication workshops servicing those industries, road transport and cold chain, building and civil construction, health and aged care, and a growing renewables and infrastructure pipeline. Much of that work is seasonal, which changes how induction, supervision and consultation have to be run.
The risk profile that comes with it is specific: mobile plant and pedestrian interaction in sheds and paddocks, tractors, quad bikes and side-by-sides, guarding and isolation on processing and packing lines, confined spaces and hot work in mills and workshops, hazardous and agricultural chemicals, manual handling on grading lines, heat and UV exposure, working at height, and labour hire and contractor duties. We write the system to suit that reality. We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across Queensland.
