Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Hervey Bay construction, marine, aged care, tourism and trades 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 Hervey Bay businesses, along with ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and ongoing WHS consulting. An audit is usually the sensible first step: 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 Hervey Bay and Fraser Coast economy leans on residential and civil construction, marine services and boat maintenance, commercial fishing and charter operations, tourism, accommodation and hospitality, a large aged care and disability services sector, retail and health, and the trades and maintenance contractors who service all of them. Many of those businesses are small enough that safety sits with an owner or operations manager rather than a dedicated WHS role.
The risk profile follows the work: working at height and roof access, mobile plant and pedestrian interaction, hardstand and slipway hazards, hot work, isolation and confined space entry on vessels, hazardous chemicals and antifouling, manual handling and client transfers in care settings, heat and UV exposure, fatigue and driving, and contractor and subcontractor duties. We write the system to suit that reality. We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across Queensland.
