Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Mackay mining services, engineering and construction businesses — with ISO 45001 readiness and general WHS consulting from the same senior team.
Spire Safety provides WHS compliance auditing and safety management system development to Mackay businesses, plus ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and general WHS consulting. In Mackay the audit usually comes first: a clear-eyed test of your system against the WHS Act, Regulation and Codes of Practice before you commit budget to fixing anything.
Mackay is the service town for the Bowen Basin. The Paget industrial estate is full of fabrication and maintenance workshops, mining services contractors, labour hire and plant hire, and the equipment suppliers that keep the coal operations running — around sugar milling, marine services at Mackay Harbour and steady civil construction. That mix brings hot work and welding, cranes and lifting, working at height, confined spaces, isolation and energy control, mobile plant, hazardous chemicals and fatigue on roster-driven work.
Contractors working on mine sites carry an extra layer: your own WHS duties plus the site's safety and health management system, standard operating procedures and contractor requirements. We build systems that satisfy both without doubling your paperwork. If you operate on a mine site, our mine safety management system work covers that ground directly. We're Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across Queensland.

A short walkthrough of how we scope, build and review mine safety management systems for Queensland operations.
Mackay 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 Mackay 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.
