Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Gladstone industrial contractors, maintenance providers 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 Gladstone businesses, along with ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and ongoing WHS consulting. In a contractor town the audit usually comes first: a hard look at your system against the WHS Act, Regulation and Codes of Practice — and against what your clients will ask for at prequalification.
Gladstone is built around heavy process industry and the port: alumina refining and aluminium smelting, LNG processing on Curtis Island, power generation, cement and chemicals, bulk export terminals, and the large contractor base that services all of it through routine maintenance and shutdowns. Most local businesses are contractors working inside someone else's permit system.
That drives a specific risk profile: isolation and energy control, permits to work, confined space entry, hot work, working at height and scaffolding, cranes and lifting, hazardous chemicals, respirable dust and fume, heat stress, and fatigue on shutdown rosters. Your system has to interlock cleanly with the site's — we build it that way. We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across Queensland.
Independent audits against the WHS Act, Regulations and Codes of Practice — with a written report you can act on.

A short walkthrough of how we scope, build and review mine safety management systems for Queensland operations.
Gladstone engagements are led by Nathan Owen — 15 years across WHS and HSEQ, postgraduate qualifications in WHS and business, and a tertiary teaching background that shows up in how findings are written and presented — alongside Tanya Protasova, who brings 10 years across construction and engineering and specialises in AS/ISO-aligned management systems. On larger Gladstone jobs Jodie Rice steps in for risk management, system implementation and auditing.
Queensland and Australia-wide clients we've worked with include Queensland Health, alongside Greyhound Australia, Bluecare, Sunshine Coast Council, Noosa Council, Marist College Ashgrove.
