Servicing all of Australia
Independent safety consultants for Perth workplaces — working under Western Australia's own WHS Act and Regulations, on site across the metro area and out to the Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid West. Compliance reviews, audits, safety systems and mining support. Senior consultants, fixed scope, fixed fee.
Perth businesses face a compliance environment that looks like the rest of Australia from a distance and behaves differently up close. Western Australia harmonised late, kept its own drafting, and runs a separate regulatory regime for mining and petroleum that no other state matches in scope.
The practical effect is that a safety system written against the Queensland or New South Wales framework will not sit cleanly against WA's. We work under the WA instruments as they actually read, for operators across the Perth CBD, Kwinana, Henderson, Fremantle, Malaga and Welshpool, and for resources and civil contractors running FIFO and DIDO crews into regional Western Australia.
Perth businesses operate under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), regulated by WorkSafe WA.
Western Australia operates under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), which replaced the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 and brought WA into broad alignment with the model laws — but not identical alignment. The supporting regulations are made separately for general industry, for mines, and for petroleum and geothermal operations.
If your safety documentation still cites the 1984 Act, or cites the Commonwealth model Act without the WA amendments, it is out of date in a way a regulator will notice.
WA's mining safety regime carries obligations that do not exist elsewhere in Australia at the same depth — statutory safety roles, principal mining hazard management planning, and a mine safety management system requirement that sits above general WHS duties rather than inside them. Our mine safety management systems work is built for this regime.
Multi-jurisdiction operators have two options: run one system that satisfies the strictest applicable requirement, or run parallel systems per state. The first is almost always cheaper to maintain and the second is almost always what organisations end up with by accident. Part of what we do in WA is untangling that.
Workplace safety consultants for Perth operations of any size — from a single metro site to a multi-site resources contractor.
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.
ISO 45001 implementation, certification readiness and audit preparation support.
Where you stand against the WA Act and Regulations, the WA codes of practice that apply to your work, and ISO 45001 if certification is in view. Ranked gaps, a closure plan, and the legal basis stated for each finding.
Independent audits run against the WA framework rather than a generic national checklist, with a written report you can act on.
Building the system itself, written against the WA instruments and against how your work is actually done — not a template with your logo on it.
MSMS design, principal mining hazard management plans, principal control plans and regulator readiness for WA operations.
Spire Safety is Brisbane-based and services WA clients from that base. We say so plainly, because WA operators are used to fly-in support and are not put off by it — they are put off by discovering it later.
Perth metro — remote work such as document review, gap analysis and audit preparation starts within the week of engagement. On-site attendance is generally within two to three weeks, depending on flights and site inductions.
Regional and remote WA — Pilbara, Goldfields, Mid West, South West and Kimberley. Site visits are scheduled around your roster and quoted in the proposal, including travel and accommodation, so there are no variations after the fact.
Remote work — document review, system development and report writing happen off site, which keeps on-site time short and the cost proportionate to the deliverable.
A short walkthrough of how our independent WHS compliance audits are scoped, run and reported for Western Australia operations.
Perth 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. You speak directly with the person scoping the work, writing the report and presenting the findings.
Australia-wide clients we've worked with include Dynamics G-X, alongside Jameson Contractors, Australian Energy Market Operator (Perth office).
We don't publish a full client list — most engagements involve confidential documentation and findings.
