Competitive Landscape
Many companies that offer WHS compliance services tend to provide their clients with a suite of documents ready to download. However, it is again up to the business to fill in the documentation according to the business.
There are very few WHS compliance service providers who offer additional consultation, inspection/auditing services or hotline services like the WHS PPA team does.
None of the other WHS compliance service providers offer WHS investigations additionally as WHS PPA does.
Don’t endanger your business by getting WHS wrong
If your business fails to achieve WHS compliance you are at high risk of being penalised by federal or state regulators, such as the Safe Work NSW.
Penalties for WHS breaches are high and serious
Fine of up to $500,000.00 for a corporate organisation that fails to comply with WHS duties in Queensland
Penalties over $3 million for a corporation in breach of WHS
Fines over $600,000.00 for body corporate officers in breach of WHS
5-year prison term for category 1 offences
On a smaller scale, but with potentially serious consequences
Residential builder was found to be non-compliant after a random inspection by Safe Work NSW
The company was given 2 weeks to meet Safe Work NSW requirements
Failure to improve would have led to the company’s building sites being closed with an additional fine for failure to comply
Recent cases of breaches
2 million dollar fine to a company for a fatal scaffolding collapse
$240,000.00 fine to a company after a worker lost fingers due to unsafe work practices
In both cases the companies did not have adequate WHS policies and procedures, or they had not been implemented correctly in the lead up to the incidents
Don’t damage your reputation
Aside from financial penalties, reputational damage as a result of serious WHS breaches can be severe.
Impact
WHS PPA has helped clients avoid fines and penalties by resolving many WHS compliance-related issues in both short time frames and long-term.
The residential builder who was randomly audited by Safe Work NSW and given a 2-week timeframe to meet the WHS requirements was able to comply in time and with success with the help of WHS PPA.
A large multi-jurisdictional entity was found non-compliant by a Federal regulator following a third-party audit. The company engaged WHS PPA to assist with compliance over a period of more than a year to help meet the compliance criteria and have WHS successfully implemented across the organisation.
