Making Safety Straightforward and Visible for Everyone

If you manage safety, you know the feeling. A near miss gets called in on Monday morning, the photos sit in someone’s phone, follow-up actions hide in spreadsheets, and you’re still chasing last month’s training records. It’s frantic. It’s risky. It’s fixable.

Meet Safety Champion

A workplace health and safety software built and implemented by people living and breathing safely. Since 2014, we’ve focused on making safety accessible for every worker and practical for every leader, with secure cloud records, native mobile apps, and configurable modules that fit your business.

Why teams pick Safety Champion and stay

Built by safety experts, not just techies: Safety Champion comes from years of real WHS experience. The software matches what actually happens at work. Easy workflows, useful checklists, and actions that makes sense.

‣ Designed for the field: Work happens everywhere, not just in the office. With our mobile app, anyone can report issues, do inspections, or find documents on the spot. The easier it is, the more people use it.

‣ Secure and reliable: Your safety data is protected. We're ISO27001 and ISO9001 certified, and we're a B Corporation too. You get strong controls and a partner that cares about more than profits.

‣ Everything in one place: Choose the tools you need, when you need them. This includes incident management, hazards, inspections, risks, training, chemicals, contractors, documents, attendance, analytics, and more. Leaders get a clear, single view instead of scattered spreadsheets.

‣ Easy to use: The design is clean and works on any device. Secure access and cloud storage make setup simple for everyone. If it's straightforward, people actually use it, and your safety program doesn’t depend on extra effort.

What Tuesday looks like with Safety Champion

A floor manager snaps a photo of a damaged fixture during opening checks and files a hazard report in the app. The system assigns a corrective action to maintenance with a due date and notifies the area manager. When the job is closed, the evidence is logged and analytics update automatically. At the next leadership meeting, you show a dashboard that highlights a downward trend in similar hazards after a change to your store setup guide. No drama. No backlog. Just safe, consistent work.

Shaping culture, not just ticking boxes

Compliance is vital, but people come first. Our software and support help make safety visible and straightforward for everyone, not just the safety manager. By empowering frontline workers to report, learn, and engage easily, you’ll see a shift from reluctant participation to a proactive culture. That’s where real progress happens.

If you’ve read this far, you already know the cost of doing nothing. Let’s fix the chaos and give your people a platform that makes safe work the easy choice. Join us on our journey to positively impact one billion lives by 2035.

Powerline Safety: Human factors in damage prevention

In Australia, an average of 10 accidental contacts occur with power lines every day. Unfortunately, each year, seven people are electrocuted and approximately 50 people are severely burned and injured. 90% of electrocutions in Australia and New Zealand are from accidental contacts with power lines by workers. All these accidents are avoidable and mainly occur due to a lack of planning and lack of awareness of the hazard. In this session, entertaining and internationally acclaimed, multi–award winning power line safety speaker, Glen ‘Cookie’ Cook, will change your perception on power line safety.

Retention and employee wellbeing

The modern workplace has always demanded a high level of performance. Long hours, constant deadlines, and high expectations are often seen as part of the job. But in recent years, many organisations have faced a quieter challenge: retaining top talent.

Today’s professionals are rethinking what they expect from their careers. While remuneration and reputation still matter, they are no longer enough to keep people engaged, loyal, or performing at their best. The new benchmark? A workplace that genuinely supports wellbeing.

Wellbeing Isn’t a Perk – It’s a Priority

In high-pressure environments, burnout, anxiety, and chronic stress are increasingly common – and often go unnoticed until they impact performance or lead to resignations. Many health concerns, both direct and indirect, affect daily performance, with life becoming increasingly complex.

Younger employees, in particular, are placing greater value on mental health, flexibility, and purpose. But these needs are not limited to early-career professionals. Senior leaders are also seeking sustainable ways of working that allow them to perform effectively without compromising their own wellbeing, while reducing risks for those they support.

Retention today requires more than recognition or pay increases. It requires a culture where wellbeing is visible, supported, and taken seriously.

The Hidden Costs of Inaction

Organisations that fail to adapt are seeing the consequences: high turnover, disengagement, reduced productivity, and increased risks to team morale and psychological safety.

It’s not just the direct costs of recruitment and training –it’s the loss of institutional knowledge, client relationships, and leadership potential that walks out the door when employees feel unsupported.

In contrast, organisations that build a reputation for valuing employee wellbeing often attract stronger talent, improve team cohesion, and cultivate long-term loyalty.

Leadership Sets the Tone

Creating a culture of wellbeing starts at the top. When leaders model sustainable work habits, encourage open conversations about mental health, and support their teams with meaningful and relevant health and wellbeing resources, retention becomes a natural outcome.

Investing in Sustainable Success

Supporting employee wellbeing is not about lowering standards – it’s about enabling people to meet them consistently. Healthy, engaged employees don’t just stay longer; they perform better, collaborate more effectively, and lead with greater impact.

Where to Start? We can help!

Organisations ready to take a proactive approach to wellbeing can benefit from partnering with providers who understand the evolving needs of today’s workforce.

CU Health provides Australia’s most advanced personalised, confidential wellbeing platform for organisations. Access online GPs, psychologists, dietitians, and health coaches. We tailor our services to meet the needs of each business – offering targeted solutions like executive performance coaching as well as preventative health screening, alongside our complete psychological care offering.

Because retention doesn’t begin with policies. It begins with care.

Creating environments that support good mental health, safety and wellbeing in mostly male workplaces

Across Australia, blue-collar men make up nearly a third of the workforce yet face higher risks of suicide, alcohol misuse, and workplace accidents. They are also less likely to seek support due to stigma and services not designed with their realities in mind. Meeting these challenges is both a moral responsibility and a psychosocial and psychological safety obligation for employers. Rae Bonney will explore the social and environmental factors shaping men’s health and share practical strategies to build workplaces where men feel supported to adopt healthier behaviours. The impact extends beyond individuals — healthier men mean stronger families, safer communities, and better outcomes for all.

Embracing Sustainability in PPE Management: The benefits of The PPE Group's 360processed Program

In an era where workplace health and safety (WHS) professionals are increasingly tasked with balancing employee protection and environmental responsibility, the disposal of personal protective equipment (PPE) poses a significant challenge.

Globally, and particularly in Australia, the consumption of PPE—from gloves and helmets to workwear—contributes to mounting waste issues, including excessive water usage in production and landfill pollution. The PPE Group's 360processed program emerges as a game-changer, offering a comprehensive value-add service that processes end-oflife PPE through recycling and upcycling, in partnership with Upparel. This initiative not only diverts waste from landfills but also aligns with corporate sustainability goals, making it an essential tool for WHS leaders committed to reducing their organisation's ecological footprint.

One of the program's standout benefits is its environmental impact. By collecting and processing PPE waste streams in one simple box - covering categories like hand protection, eye protection, footwear, and flame-retardant (FR) workwear - 360processed ensures materials are recycled into raw forms or upcycled into innovative products such as Uptex for construction applications. All processing occurs within Australia, avoiding international shipping that would inflate carbon emissions. WHS professionals can thus demonstrate tangible reductions in their site's carbon footprint, with quarterly reports providing transparent data on savings. This traceability empowers organisations to meet ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting requirements, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement in sustainability practices.

to 20kg of textiles each, including return delivery - to skip bins ideal for large-scale construction or infrastructure projects. This flexibility accommodates sites of all sizes, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations. Moreover, the program extends beyond The PPE Group's brands, allowing inclusion of other products, which broadens its appeal for multi-vendor environments.

Ease of implementation is another key advantage, tailored to diverse workplace needs. Registration is straightforward via QR code, email, or local business development manager contact, with forecasts based on PPE consumption to determine suitable collection methods. Options range from the Simple BoxUP systemaffordable upfront costs for 12 branded boxes holding up

The PPE Group's 360processed program emerges as a game-changer, offering a comprehensive value-add service that processes end-of-life PPE through recycling and upcycling, in partnership with Upparel.

Security and compliance further enhance its value. Sensitive items, such as branded uniforms, are securely destroyed in a 24/7 live-streamed facility, addressing data protection concerns in high-risk industries like mining and manufacturing. Pricing transparency, with per-kilo rates for bulk returns, positions 360processed as a cost-effective value-add rather than an expense, closing the loop on PPE lifecycles without compromising safety standards.

By reducing waste and providing verifiable outcomes, 360processed not only safeguards the planet but also elevates organisational reputation.

For WHS professionals striving to integrate sustainability into core practices, 360processed offers a practical, impactful solution. By reducing waste and providing verifiable outcomes, it not only safeguards the planet but also elevates organisational reputation. It's time to sign up and lead the charge towards a greener future in workplace safety.

The State of Safety in Australia: What the data reveals and what leaders need to do next

New market research reveals a growing gap between safety systems, leadership intent, and frontline experience in Australian workplaces. Jason Allen joins us to unpack the data and explore what’s really holding organisations back from improving safety and what leaders can do next

Transforming safety management through contractor compliance

Rapid Global harnesses AI to simplify safety management, streamline contractor processes, and strengthen compliance across entire worksites.

For today’s safety managers, compliance is more complex than ever. Contractors, visitors, and employees move through worksites daily, each carrying different responsibilities and risks. Ensuring they are trained, authorised, and compliant is not just about ticking a box. It is about building a culture of safety across the organisation.

Rapid Global helps organisations address this challenge with a suite of digital solutions designed to modernise contractor management while supporting every part of the safety process.

Building a connected safety ecosystem

Contractor management is just the beginning. Rapid’s platform integrates other safety functions into one connected ecosystem. Rapid Induct streamlines training and onboarding, while Rapid Access ensures only compliant personnel can enter a site. Rapid Incident enables real-time reporting from mobile devices or QR codes, and solutions such as Rapid Auditor and Rapid Monitor support proactive oversight, from simplifying audits to using AI to detect hazards faster than the human eye.

Contractor management at the core

At the heart of effective safety management lies contractor compliance. Rapid Contractor Management digitises the full process, including pre-qualification, licence and insurance checks, inductions, and ongoing compliance checks. Real-time dashboards and automated reminders ensure no detail slips through the cracks, while RapidCheck uses AI to instantly verify documentation. What once took days of phone calls and paperwork now happens in minutes.

Rapid Global’s clients have reported a 40% increase in contractor compliance, a 93% reduction in time verifying documents, and up to 60 hours saved each month on inductions. This allows safety managers to focus on strategy and leadership rather than administration.

At the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), hundreds of contractors and event staff need to be managed for every game or event. By implementing Rapid, the MCG gained live visibility of who was on site and whether they were compliant, streamlining oversight in one of Australia’s busiest venues. PepsiCo faced similar challenges across multiple operations. By adopting Rapid, the company achieved instant visibility of contractor status, automated certification checks, and a simplified onboarding process. The result was reduced risk and improved safety culture.

By connecting these functions, safety managers can move from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk management.

Trusted, secure and proven

Rapid Global supports thousands of clients with over 5 million users and 120,000 registered contracting companies. With over 20 years of innovation in WHS software, the company backs its technology with enterprisegrade security, including ISO 27001 certification and 256-bit encryption. Across industries from construction to manufacturing and facilities management, Rapid Global has a proven record of transforming safety processes to build trust with regulators, employees, contractors, and safety consultants.

Rapid Global’s clients have reported a 40% increase in contractor compliance, a 93% reduction in time verifying documents, and up to 60 hours saved each month on inductions. This allows safety managers to focus on strategy and leadership rather than administration.

We provide your team with the 24/7 capacityuplift needed when serious incidents occur

Software you can trust

Software that turns barriers into engagement; with instant return on investment. It is a simple approach, but encouraging employees in the field to complete business compliance activities faster and more easily, whilst providing better outcomes, is the key to active workforce engagement and efficiency particularly in construction and related all industries.

Employees need an integrated approach of user-friendly tools to assist with all aspects of risk management, safety, quality, environment, training, inductions, contractor management, assets and plant management. This in turn provides businesses with widespread efficiencies not otherwise possible with stand-alone systems.

Skytrust’s Intelligence System allows exactly this.

Let’s see how it affects the entire workforce and the effectiveness of operations; starting on site. Traditionally these employees are the individuals who conduct the inspections, hazard reports, SWMS etc. They understand the importance yet don’t always get to appreciate the benefits delivered by software systems.

Here at Skytrust we wanted to develop a solution that could change this, by firstly making entry processes faster and more thorough than paper. By empowering these employees with access to relevant information at their fingertips; scanning a QR code on a piece of plant; completing inspections on a mobile device; having access to service records and operation manuals; they instantly gain a more efficient and effective way of carrying out their role.

From this point companies are able to continue with the simple monthly subscription, with no lock in contracts.

With the workers on site engaged, and having relevant information accessible management experience even greater oversight and productivity.

Suddenly, they have access to instant information, live data e.g. notifications and escalations when something doesn’t occur or get completed. This process enables them to more effectively manage employees, events, improvements, audits and training information on dashboards. It also means reports are instantly drillable, providing instant performance indicators of how operations are trending.

This information supports management expertise with a holistic integrated approach to the organisation’s compliance management across all aspects of their business. The vast array of workflow benefits driven from functions such as training and inductions, to performance appraisals, to QR coded employee IDs, all seamlessly flow and cascade. Designed to directly align with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. This approach has proven successful in any industry application.

The Skytrust application has been built to break all traditional barriers of software implementation with no large upfront costs. Our backing that this application will revolutionise your business rapidly is so strong, we offer companies a no obligation 3-month trial via skytrust.com.au, allowing customers to truly experience instant return on investment before making a decision.

At the end of the line, the individuals ultimately responsible for complete oversight to their legislative obligations are Executives and Directors. To assist this obligation, an instant due diligence benefit, regarding how their business is complying, is provided via the dashboard. Whilst this certainly is attractive for their peace of mind, it is the no obligation trial approach, with no expenditure barriers, that provide true appeal to savvy Executives and Directors, who have everything to gain and nothing to lose through trialling this system.

Skytrust has focused its software application to appeal to the needs and KPIs of entire site workforce; and aim for a no barriers implementation of their Business Risk Management Software: Skytrust.

Software that turns barriers into engagement; with instant return on investment.

Safety Management as a Service: The strategic solution for modern businesses

Why Forward-Thinking Leaders Are Embracing Fractional Safety Management

In today’s ever-shifting regulatory and operational environment, organisations face mounting pressures to ensure workplace safety. Traditional in-house safety management sometimes falls short, hindered by resource constraints, limited expertise, and the rapid pace of change. Enter fractional safety management, or Safety Management as a Service (SMaaS), a flexible, transformative approach that’s redefining how businesses protect their people and reputations.

SMaaS provides expert safety leadership, compliance oversight, and risk mitigation on a subscription or fractional basis. Rather than relying on full-time safety managers, organisations tap into a pool of safety experts, purpose-built technology, and established processes to achieve tailored safety outcomes. SMaaS adapts to organisational needs, delivering everything from strategic advice to incident response and ongoing compliance support.

Key Drivers Behind SMaaS Adoption

The uptake of SMaaS is accelerating, driven by several factors:

‣ Increasingly stringent Australian regulations, with harsh penalties for non-compliance.

‣ The rise of remote and hybrid work complicates risk management and makes centralised, agile safety support more appealing.

‣ Economic pressure and talent shortages are motivating organisations to find cost-effective, innovative solutions that maintain high standards.

Whilst market trends indicate a broader shift towards service-based models across functions such as IT and HR. Organisations are increasingly preferring partners that deliver proactive risk management, data-driven insights, and support that evolves alongside their operations.

Why Traditional Safety Management Falls Short

Businesses of all sizes face similar challenges:

‣ Inconsistent compliance

‣ Outdated policies

‣ Struggles to keep up with regulatory changes

‣ Gaps in incident response

Smaller companies often lack dedicated safety expertise, while larger organisations suffer from siloed systems and inefficient manual processes. The consequences include heightened risk, fines, reputational damage, operational disruptions, and lower workforce morale.

Fractional Safety Management: A Targeted, Flexible Solution

Fractional safety management, central to SMaaS, means engaging experienced safety professionals on an ongoing basis. This delivers high-level expertise without the cost of permanent hires, allowing organisations to scale safety leadership for projects, regulatory reviews, or periods of heightened risk. Fractional managers bring fresh perspectives and best practices from various industries, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

What SMaaS Delivers

For a monthly fee, SMaaS, by Action OHS Consulting, delivers peace of mind through:

‣ Tailored safety consulting and advice

‣ Safety impact assessments and reviews, with actionable recommendations

‣ On-call WHS guidance

‣ Expert support for notifiable incidents

‣ Customised safety documentation (Handbook, SWMS, SOPs, etc.)

‣ User-friendly safety software for reporting, incident management, safety communications, and more

‣ Regular training sessions (in-person and online)

‣ Access to HR and WHS legal experts as needed

‣ Up-to-date safety information, including legislation and best practice updates

Why Choose SMaaS?

SMaaS directly addresses today’s core organisational safety challenges. Subscription-based access to experts, dedicated safety software, and legal/HR support provides instant visibility and control over risks and compliance. Real-time reporting and incident management tools mean risks are identified and resolved quickly.

For example, a construction firm using SMaaS can schedule monthly site audits, tailored toolbox talks, and receive timely regulatory updates, all for a predictable monthly fee. A manufacturing business may engage SMaaS for a significant expansion, accessing leadership as needed while ensuring compliance and operational continuity.

Compelling Reasons to Adopt SMaaS

‣ Cost Efficiency : Access specialist safety management without permanent overheads, delivering better ROI and budget certainty.

‣ Scalability & Flexibility : SMaaS scales with your needs, ideal for growing or seasonal businesses.

‣ Expertise on Demand: Tap into current regulatory knowledge without the hassle of recruiting niche talent.

‣ Regulatory Confidence: Stay ahead of compliance with ongoing monitoring and expert advice.

‣ Focus on Core Business: Free up internal resources for strategic priorities, knowing safety is managed by professionals.

Time to take action

In a world where the cost of safety failures can be measured in lives, reputation, and business continuity, SMaaS is a strategic imperative. It combines the flexibility of fractional management, the convenience of software, expert oversight, and the efficiency of a service model. For leaders seeking to future-proof their organisations, SMaaS turns safety leadership into a competitive advantage. Don’t wait for an incident; make safety a priority today.

Machinery under the microscope: The overlooked risk in heavy vehicle chain of responsibility

When most people think of the Chain of Responsibility (CoR), they picture drivers and their loads. But under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), responsibility stretches far beyond the cab. Everyone in the supply chain, from schedulers and consignors to site managers and operators, carries a duty to ensure heavy vehicle safety.

That responsibility doesn’t stop at how a vehicle is loaded or driven. It extends to the machinery and equipment operating in and around heavy vehicles every day. Cranes, loaders, excavators, forklifts and other plant all interact with heavy vehicles during loading, unloading and site movements creating a complex web of risks that fall directly under the CoR.

The missing link: machinery risk

While much focus is placed on fatigue management, mass limits and load restraint, machinery condition and suitability are too often overlooked. Poorly maintained, unsafe or non-compliant machinery can directly compromise heavy vehicle safety. A defective loader dropping material into a truck or an excavator with ineffective brakes on a haul road poses just as much risk to drivers and the public as overloading or poor scheduling.

This is where machinery risk assessments become critical. Regular, systematic assessments identify hazards, flag compliance gaps and provide the documented evidence duty holders need to demonstrate they are meeting their obligations under the NHVR.

Why assessments matter

‣ Demonstrating compliance – providing proof that plant and machinery have been assessed, maintained and deemed fit for purpose

‣ Preventing incidents – catching mechanical defects and operational risks before they become safety failures

‣ Protecting all parties in the chain – from site managers to contractors, everyone can be held accountable under CoR if unsafe machinery is involved in an incident

A smarter way forward

Meeting CoR obligations requires a proactive, not reactive approach. By embedding machinery risk assessments into everyday operations, businesses not only protect their workforce and the community but also shield themselves from regulatory, financial and reputational damage.

Because at the end of the day, CoR isn’t just about trucks on the road. It’s about the entire ecosystem of people, places and machines that make those journeys possible.

5 machinery compliance mistakes to avoid in 2026 We've seen hundreds of site audits go wrong for the same reasons. This guide breaks down the five most common machinery compliance mistakes, and exactly how to fix them.

The cost of going it alone

Mental health-related claims are more expensive and slower to resolve than physical injuries. Regulators are increasing enforcement. And poorly managed psychosocial hazards don't just create compliance risk - they erode trust, engagement, and productivity across your entire organisation.

A New Era in Height Safety: Interpreting the 2025 Standards through a WAHA lens

Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities across Australia and New Zealand. Despite decades of regulation, uncertainty has often persisted around what good height safety looks like in practice.

The 2025 revisions to AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS 5532 mark a decisive shift, not just in technical detail, but in how the industry thinks about safety.

From a Working at Height Association (WAHA) perspective, these updates move the conversation from compliance to capability.

Designing for Human Reality

One of the most significant changes in AS/NZS 1891.4:2025 is the explicit re-ordering of the hierarchy of fall protection systems. Restraint techniques, long viewed as the preferred option because they “prevent the fall,” are now placed at the bottom of the hierarchy, below limited free-fall arrest systems.

This change reflects an important truth; systems that rely heavily on constant adjustment and perfect user behaviour are inherently fragile. Pre-engineered fall arrest systems embed clearance, anchorage strength, and rescue planning into the design phase, reducing reliance

on judgement in the field. The intent is clear, prioritise solutions that are predictable and more tolerant of human error.

Redundancy Where Consequences Are Severe

The 2025 standard also strengthens requirements around redundancy. Where systems support body weight, such as on steeply pitched roofs, secondary connections are now required. This aligns height safety more closely with rope access principles, where redundancy has long been considered essential.

Similarly, tighter controls on diversion anchors close a long-standing safety gap. Any redirection beyond 60 degrees must now be treated as a primary anchor point, recognising the significant and often underestimated forces generated during a fall and the increased risk of swing falls.

Competence Beyond the Certificate

Expanded guidance on the definition of a competent person reinforces that a training certificate alone is no longer sufficient. Competence now implies demonstrable capability in anchor selection, system setup, clearance calculation, diversion management, and rescue planning.

For WAHA, this represents a critical step away from tick-box compliance toward meaningful capability, the kind that holds up when conditions change or things go wrong.

Anchors Under Clearer Scrutiny

In parallel, AS 5532:2025 removes ambiguity around anchor compliance. Anchors must meet clearer

dynamic and static testing requirements and be certified directly to AS 5532. Claims of compliance via AS/NZS 1891.4 are no longer acceptable, sharpening procurement and verification responsibilities for duty holders.

Raising the Bar by Design

Together, the 2025 standards signal a shift in philosophy. Safety is no longer something managed solely through procedures and paperwork; it must be engineered into systems that anticipate real-world use.

From WAHA’s perspective, this is an opportunity for industry leadership. Organisations that align early with the new standards will not only meet their obligations, they will set a higher benchmark for protecting people working in falls environments.

Safe systems are not just compliant systems. They are systems designed for reality.

Why Lone Worker safety should be a top business priority

Lone workers are a vital part of many industries, from healthcare and social professionals visiting patients at home to retail and hospitality staff facing clients alone. Yet, working alone presents unique risks that can lead to serious consequences if not properly managed.

The unique risks faced by lone workers

Unlike employees in supervised environments, lone workers often lack immediate support in emergencies. Whether facing a medical issue, an accident, or a security threat, they are at greater risk due to delayed response times. Some of the key risks include:

‣ Increased vulnerability to accidents: A technician repairing machinery in an isolated location could suffer a fall or an electric shock with no one nearby to assist.

‣ Exposure to violence and assault: Social workers and healthcare professionals working in people’s home, or retail staff handling cash or working night shifts, can be easy targets for aggression.

‣ Mental and emotional stress: Working in isolation can lead to anxiety, fatigue, and burnout, affecting productivity and job satisfaction.

Legal and business responsibilities

Under Australia’s Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act, businesses must ensure the safety of all employees, including lone workers. Failure to implement effective safety measures can lead to heavy penalties, legal action, and reputational damage.

Employers are required to:

‣ Conduct risk assessments to identify potential hazards for lone workers.

‣ Implement emergency procedures that ensure rapid assistance.

‣ Provide training and supervision to equip workers with the skills to handle high-risk situations.

‣ Offer personal protective equipment (PPE), such as a lone worker safety device, for immediate access to emergency support.

How prioritising lone worker safety benefits your business

Beyond compliance, prioritising lone worker safety positively impacts business performance and success:

‣ Enhances employee well-being: GPS-enabled devices and SOS alarms provide workers with a direct line to emergency services, giving them peace of mind.

‣ Boosts employee retention & morale: Workers who feel safe are more engaged and productive, reducing turnover and absenteeism.

‣ Reduces legal and financial risks: Proactively addressing lone worker safety helps prevent

workplace accidents, lowering compensation claims and potential lawsuits.

‣ Improves operational efficiency and productivity: Features like audio check-in with indoor verbal GPS recording and SOS alarms ensure workers are accounted for, tasks are completed safely, and emergency response times are minimised.

No Thru Temporary Fence: A stronger, more secure solution for construction sites

Construction sites require strong, reliable security to protect workers, materials, and equipment. However, traditional temporary fencing often falls short due to weak connection points, stability issues, and vulnerability to tampering. No Thru Temporary Fence is engineered to solve these problems with its innovative, clamp-free interlocking design—creating a stronger, more secure perimeter for your construction site.

The problems with traditional temporary fencing

Most temporary fencing systems rely on metal clamps and external fasteners to connect panels together. While this may seem effective, it creates several issues:

‣ Clamps are easy to tamper with – Clamps can be loosened or removed, allowing unauthorised individuals to dismantle the fence and gain access to the site.

‣ Weak connection points – Clamped connections are often the weakest parts of the fence, making them prone to failure in high winds, heavy impacts, or uneven terrain.

‣ Frequent maintenance & replacement – Clamps and bolts can break, go missing, or rust over time, leading to ongoing maintenance costs and potential security risks.

‣ Shifting and instability – Traditional fences are often wobbly or misaligned because they depend on individual panel connections rather than a fully integrated system.

The No Thru solution: Interlocking panels for maximum security

No Thru Temporary Fence eliminates these weaknesses by using an advanced interlocking system instead of clamps. Our panels connect directly, forming a solid, continuous structure that is far more secure and reliable than traditional fencing.

Key advantages of No Thru Temporary Fence

‣ Tamper-resistant design – Without clamps or external fasteners, there are no weak points that intruders can manipulate.

‣ Enhanced stability – The interlocking connection distributes force evenly across the entire fence, making it more resistant to wind, impact, and shifting ground conditions.

‣ More secure – With defined access points decided at the beginning of the project the site manager has full control of the site.

A smarter choice for long-term site security

By removing the weaknesses of traditional fencing and replacing them with a smarter, more secure design, No Thru Temporary Fence provides a superior solution for construction site security.

Portwest, built to handle Australia's toughest workdays

Australia might be the best place on Earth, but let’s be honest, she doesn’t always make it easy on workers. Between extreme heat, the rough terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions staying safe on the job can be a real challenge.

That’s where the right workwear makes all the difference.

Just ask Greenworx, a Sydney-based landscaping crew that specialises in everything from commercial grounds to sports fields and national parks.

Given the nature of their work, landscapers are constantly outdoors, tackling heavy physical work around moving equipment in all kinds of weather, so reliable and durable workwear is essential.

“All of our activity happens outdoors, so it’s important that we help our staff continue to do their job safely, all year round,” says Greenworx Co-Director, John Kalocsai.

“We can’t afford for anyone to be injured or overheat at work. It’s a non-negotiable.”

For Greenworx, teaming up with Portwest was a nobrainer. "A supplier that ensures their product complies with all safety standards, particularly with the PPE available and the durability of their workwear.”

Stay Sun Safe with Portwest

But don’t just take our word for it. Findings from Safe Work Australia show that long term sun exposure can lead to serious and irreversible damage to the skin and eyes.

That’s why Greenworx crews stick with Portwest.

“We choose Portwest because they stand by the quality of their uniforms and their protection from the sun,” John says. “We’re out in the elements every day, so we can’t risk using something that’s second rate.”

Portwest workwear is built tough for the Australian conditions and is fully compliant with AS 4399 UPF30 standards, blocking out 96.7% of UV rays. Ideal for those long days under the harsh Aussie sun.

Helping to Avoid Injury

Beating the heat is one thing, but working outdoors brings its own risks. For the team at Greenworx, flying debris is a daily hazard, which is why properly designed PPE is critical.

Portwest gear is created with both durability and comfort in mind, helping workers stay safe without compromising comfort.

‣ Eye protection: Portwest’s range is compliant with the AS/NZS 1337.1 standard, shielding workers from flying particles and fragments.

‣ Footwear: The Portwest BASE Protection lineup blends innovation with strength. The BASE Fortrex boots, for example, offer puncture resistance up to 3mm, making them Portwest’s toughest boots yet for reducing injury risks.

Towa's technologies & features

NanoFinish™

New exclusive coating technology for magnificent dry grip, with enhanced durability and flexibility, while also lessening environmental impact.

NanoFinish™ is Towa Corporation's latest coating technology innovation, delivering incredible dry grip, great flexibility, and durability.

Following the concept of our exclusive MicroFinish® coating technology, a soft compound with thousands of microscopic pockets that act as suckers when in contact with a surface, NanoFinish™ further increases the number of pockets and reduces their size to create a flatter surface for better friction, resulting in incomparable dry grip.

One of our key objectives during our research was to be able to offer an excellent dry grip even with nitrile coating, while enhancing the flexibility of the compound. By developing a new formula, we succeeded in creating an extremely soft and highly flexible nitrile coating, reminiscent of latex.

Another goal was to improve the durability of the two most important aspects: the coating and the grip performance. The new NanoFinish™ nitrile formula allows us to manufacture a coating with abrasion resistance levels far higher than those of similar gloves, greatly improving the durability of ours.

In order to achieve a long-lasting grip performance, the NanoFinish™ creates pockets in the coating that are so small that dirt, soil, or sawdust do not get stuck inside them, which would reduce their suction power.

The gloves can as such maintain the same level of grip throughout their usage.

Towa Corporation is focused on manufacturing more environmentally friendly gloves, and NanoFinish™ is the result of a complete revision of the manufacturing process of our coating solutions, resulting in a drastic reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted, and in some cases, entirely VOC free gloves. Available today in nitrile or latex coating, the NanoFinish™ technology is being applied to our MagneX™ gloves series, an ever-growing series of highquality gloves aiming to cover all the needs of the industry.

MicroFinish®

Industry leading coating technology delivers unparalleled grip performance for dry, wet and oily material surfaces.

Towa Corporation has developed gloves that prioritize safety, comfort, and superior grip, with MicroFinish® technology as a key feature. This revolutionary coating enhances grip by increasing friction between the glove and surface, even when liquids are present. Unlike traditional gloves with stiff compounds and rough surfaces that reduce contact, MicroFinish® uses a soft, flexible material with microscopic pockets. These pockets act like suckers, absorbing and dispersing liquid, allowing more of the glove's surface to make direct contact with the material. This results in up to 100% better friction and a significantly reduced effort to maintain grip, even on oily or wet surfaces. MicroFinish® has become an industry leader, offering unmatched performance in reducing fatigue and improving safety.

Ensuring your drug and alcohol policy is more than just a piece of paper

How to help staff understand the cascading effects of substance abuse

Drug and alcohol policies are crucial for the effective and safe functioning of any workplace. But how well do your staff understand the intent behind it? Do they see it as a way of ‘catching them out’, or as a mechanism for ensuring the safety of all staff – including those with possible substance use problems – as well as the wider community?

From policy to practice

Effective training is a key component of any policy. Employees often know their employer’s stance on drugs and alcohol in the workplace but may be uncertain about how to ask for support when things go wrong. Good quality training should aim to educate staff about your drug and alcohol policy and provide practical examples of how it should be applied in the real world.

Key points to cover in your training include:

‣ What the company defines as unacceptable alcohol and drug use.

‣ The responsibilities of employers and employees regarding drug and alcohol testing.

‣ How the company will deal with long-term users versus one-off situations.

‣ The types of drug and alcohol testing are available within the workplace (for example., pre-employment testing versus random testing versus causal testing).

‣ The process for workers who take prescription medications that may affect drug and alcohol testing results.

‣ The availability of treatment, counselling and rehabilitation services.

‣ The effects of alcohol and other drugs on employee health, safety and work performance.

Employers may also wish to incorporate additional training for managers and supervisors on how to appropriately identify and approach employees who may be under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and how to refer employees to rehabilitation and support services.

Where testing fits in

Drug and alcohol testing supports workplace safety by providing an objective way to manage risk. When aligned with policy and training, testing helps to ensure decisions are applied consistently and fairly, particularly in safety-critical environments.

Drug and alcohol screening and testing solutions

Sonic HealthPlus and Sonic Commercial Pathology provide workplace drug and alcohol health solutions across Australia, in compliance with industry legislation.

Simplify Audits

From Insight to Impact: Building capability beyond the investigation

In today's complex work environments, the challenge facing Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) professionals is no longer simply responding to workplace events, it is building the organisational capability to mitigate them.

Over the past decade, investigations have improved. Data collection has improved. Reporting has improved. Yet many organisations still struggle to convert those insights into sustained system changes and organisational performance.

The next evolution in WHS is not just about understanding what happened, it's about embedding what we learn into how we operate every day.

Moving Beyond the Event

Investigations remain critical. When conducted effectively, they reveal systemic contributing factors, highlight laten conditions within the organisation, and identify opportunities for improvement.

However, a high-quality investigation alone does not reduce risk.

‣ Real impact occurs when investigation insights are:

‣ Shared effectively across the organisation

‣ Translated into practical capability

‣ Reinforced through ongoing learning

‣ Integrated into leadership decision-making

Without this connection, valuable insights often sit in reports rather than shaping future outcomes.

Turning Data into Organisational Capability

Many organisations now collect more safety data than ever before, events, hazards, near misses, audit findings and workforce feedback.

The question is no longer "Do we have data?" It is "Are we building capability from it?"

Forward-thinking WHS teams are focusing on:

‣ Identifying recurring patterns across events and contributing factors

‣ Developing targeted learning interventions based on real internal data

‣ Strengthening investigation capability across operational leaders

‣ Ensuring safety learning is accessible when and where it is needed

When safety knowledge becomes part of daily operations—not just periodic training—organisations move from reactive management to proactive control.

Embedding Learning into the Flow of Work

Traditional classroom-based training remains valuable. It provides space for reflection, discussion and skill development.

But modern work environments require learning that is:

‣ Timely

‣ Practical

‣ Reinforced over time

‣ Accessible across dispersed teams

WHS professionals are increasingly recognising that capability development must extend beyond scheduled sessions. Leaders, supervisors and investigators need ongoing access to guidance, frameworks and real-world application support.

Modern safety teams are exploring new ways to deliver learning ensuring critical knowledge reaches frontline decision-makers exactly when they need it, whether they're at a desk, on-site, or working remotely.

When learning is embedded in all aspects of work, it strengthens consistency, improves decision-making and reduces reliance on individual heroics.

Developing the Next Generation of Safety Leaders Technical investigation skills are essential—but leadership capability determines whether improvements take hold.

Organisations that see sustained safety performance uplift often invest in:

‣ Coaching emerging WHS professionals

‣ Mentoring operational leaders in investigation thinking

‣ Strengthening communication of contributing factors

‣ Implementation and review of corrective actions

‣ Improving alignment between safety and executive decision-making

Building confident, capable safety practitioners ensures that investigation principles are applied consistently and that lessons are not lost over time.

Integrated Support: From Investigation to Improvement

For some organisations, internal capability development is supported by external expertise.

Comprehensive WHS support may include:

‣ Independent investigations

‣ Psychosocial event analysis

‣ Targeted capability uplift programs

‣ Ongoing advisory or mentoring support

The goal is not dependency—it is strengthening internal systems so organisations can continuously improve.

Looking Ahead

As WHS expectations evolve, organisations that thrive will be those that:

‣ Use data intelligently

‣ Act early on emerging risks

‣ Invest in structured capability development

‣ Reinforce learning beyond the classroom

‣ Build strong investigation and leadership foundations

The future of safety is not defined by how well we respond to events, but by how effectively we learn, adapt and embed those lessons into everyday practice.

At ICAM Australia, we continue working with organisations to strengthen investigation capability, translate insights into action, and support sustainable safety performance across industries.

Visit us at the Workplace Health & Safety Show in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to discover how we're helping organisations build lasting safety capability.

Because safer workplaces are not created by reports alone—they are built through capability.

Leadership as the Catalyst: Driving innovation in practical safety delivery

By Scott Barber CEO, Australian Working at Height Association (WAHA)

In Australian workplaces, particularly in construction and infrastructure, falls from height remain one of the most persistent and deadly risks. Despite years of regulatory enforcement, safety campaigns, and investment in equipment, the statistics tell a stubborn story.

In 2023 alone, falls from height accounted for 15% of all workplace fatalities, a 32% increase on the five-year average. These figures suggest that while existing frameworks may have stabilised the issue, they have not transformed it. To move the needle meaningfully, we need a different kind of intervention—one that begins not with systems or checklists, but with leadership.

The role of leadership

The role of leadership in safety is often acknowledged, but not always well understood. Too often, safety leadership is equated with policy approval, periodic reviews, or high-level communication. However, the real influence of leadership lies not in what is said or mandated from above, but in how those values are translated into everyday behaviours, decisions, and cultural norms. Strong leadership is visible, involved, and consistently aligned with safe outcomes, even when that comes at the cost of productivity or short-term gains.

Critically, many organisations fall into the trap of topdown safety leadership that fails to engage or empower those on the ground. A common mistake is treating safety as a compliance obligation, something to be measured through audits and injury rates rather than embedded as a strategic business value. When safety becomes about forms and KPIs, rather than about people and purpose, it fosters disengagement. Workers begin to see it as a bureaucratic exercise, rather than something that exists to protect them and those around them.

Genuine worker involvement

Another common misstep is the imposition of safety initiatives without genuine worker involvement. Leaders may introduce new equipment, procedures, or technologies without understanding the practical realities of their use. This often leads to resistance or workaround behaviours that reintroduce risk through the back door. True innovation in safety is most effective when it is co-designed, with operational workers, supervisors, and subject matter experts all having a voice in the process.

Consistency is key

Then there’s the issue of inconsistency. Workers observe what leaders prioritise when things are tight, do they push for productivity over procedure, or pause to deal with a risk? Culture is shaped by what is tolerated as much as by what is promoted. When leaders “talk the talk” but don’t “walk the walk,” credibility suffers. Workers may begin to assume that safety is conditional, important until it becomes inconvenient.

Focus on leading indicators

There’s also a tendency to focus on lagging indicators such as lost-time injuries or recordable incidents. While these metrics have their place, they often hide more than they reveal. A site with zero injuries might simply be a site where incidents go unreported. Leading indicators, like near miss reports, proactive hazard identification, training participation, and psychological safety, offer a more accurate picture of a safety culture’s maturity.

Develop real skills

Training is another area where leadership assumptions can fall short. Sending workers to a course or having them complete an online module does not guarantee competence. Real skill development requires taskspecific, practical instruction, behavioural reinforcement, and opportunities to practice decision-making in highrisk contexts. Leadership must be willing to invest in adaptive and ongoing training, not just induction-level compliance.

Cultural and psychological barriers to change

Perhaps most importantly, some leaders overlook the cultural and psychological barriers to change. Workers may resist safety interventions for reasons that are not technical, but human: pride, fear of embarrassment, peer pressure, or mistrust of management. Successful safety leadership acknowledges these realities and works to build environments where it is safe to speak up, admit uncertainty, and learn from mistakes.

Cultivating engagement is key

What all of this shows is that leadership in safety is less about commanding from the top and more about cultivating engagement from within. It’s about enabling innovation not by mandate, but by building a culture that is open to new ideas, transparent about risks, and united in its purpose to protect people.

Transforming safety performance, especially in high-risk environments like working at height, demands this kind of leadership. It requires executives and managers to step into the safety conversation with humility, curiosity, and resolve. It calls for a reimagining of safety not as a function, but as a shared mindset, where innovation isn’t just about the latest gear, but about smarter systems, stronger relationships, and a more empowered workforce.

In the end, the organisations that succeed in building resilient, high-performing safety cultures will be those whose leaders do more than sponsor initiatives. They will be the ones who lead visibly, consistently, and collaboratively, knowing that the future of safety depends not just on better rules, but on better leadership.

Connecting People. Protecting Lives. Changing Behaviour. With PBF Australia

At PBF Australia, safety starts with people, not just policies. For over 40 years, we’ve worked alongside individuals, workplaces, and communities to reduce the impact of serious injury and support those whose lives have been changed forever.

We believe connection saves lives. By sharing real stories, providing peer support, and partnering across industries, we create moments of reflection that influence decisions, encourage safer choices, and foster human-centred safety cultures.

Who We Are

PBF Australia is a national, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preventing life-altering injuries and supporting people living with spinal cord and other traumatic injuries. Our storytellers speak from experience not theory bringing authenticity, credibility, and impact to conversations that matter.

What We Do

We work across the full injury journey, connecting, supporting, and influencing behaviour:

• Prevention & Education – Using real-life experiences to inspire safer decisions at work, on the road, and in everyday life

• Connection & Support – Walking alongside individuals and families through peer support and community networks

• Financial Protection – Providing peace of mind through membership and practical support when the unexpected happens

• Partnerships Across Industry – Collaborating to embed meaningful, human-centred safety conversations

Why It Works

When people hear real stories from those who have lived the consequences, behaviour changes. Learning becomes personal, memorable, and meaningful, far beyond rules and compliance. Injury doesn’t just affect one person; it impacts families, workplaces, and communities. By creating space for empathy, reflection, and shared responsibility, we help shift safety from compliance to care and align our message to each organisation’s safety and wellbeing goals.

Let’s Connect

Whether you’re looking to strengthen safety culture, support your people, or build meaningful partnerships, we’d love to connect.
