WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Burnie 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 Burnie and across the north-west coast of Tasmania — from the port and bulk handling operations at Burnie itself through to manufacturing, forestry and timber, mining services and engineering workshops at Wivenhoe, Camdale, Somerset and Wynyard.
Burnie is a heavy-industry town with a working port attached. Fixed plant, isolation and lockout, confined spaces, hazardous chemicals, dust and noise, and contractor management during shutdowns are the recurring themes — and they are exactly the areas a regulator examines first when something goes wrong.
We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first. In practice the bulk of a Burnie engagement — gap assessment, system build, documentation, audit preparation and review — is delivered offsite, so airfares and accommodation don't sit on top of the work. We have worked in every state and territory and can attend a Burnie 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 Tasmania operations.
Burnie 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 Netco Pumps, FRW Industrial, Greyhound Australia, Australian Energy Market Operator, Total Tools, Bluecare.
We don't publish a full client list — most engagements involve confidential documentation and findings.
