Servicing all of Australia
WHS compliance auditing and safety management systems for Karratha mining services, oil and gas, construction and transport contractors — 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 Karratha businesses, along with ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 readiness and ongoing WHS consulting. For most Pilbara contractors the audit comes first: a clear review of your system against the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA) and the regulations that apply to your work, and against what the operator you supply expects to see before and during an engagement.
Karratha and the wider Pilbara run on iron ore and its supply chain, LNG and domestic gas processing, salt and ammonia production, port and rail operations, shutdown and maintenance contracting, fabrication and workshops, civil and building construction, heavy haulage, and the labour hire and camp services that support all of it. Almost every business here is a contractor to someone larger, and the system you can produce on request often decides whether you win the work.
The risk profile is severe and well known: mobile plant and light vehicle interaction, isolation and permit to work, confined space entry, hot work, working at height, lifting and rigging, hazardous chemicals, heat stress and cyclone season, fatigue on long shifts and rosters, remote and isolated work, and contractor management across multiple duty holders. We write the system to suit that reality. We are Brisbane-based and deliver remote-first — see where else we work across Western Australia.
