Health and Safety Services

Providing expert H&S guidance in plain simple language.

Our focus is on putting you in control of your health and safety. We also understand that when you're running a business it's easy to get bogged down in day-to-day operations. We offer a range of solutions to suit your needs, available time and your budget. We'll provide as much guidance and assistance as you need. It's also important to be clear about your obligations under the HSWA 2015. Officers of a PCBU (Directors, Trustees, Body Corporate members, Executives, Senior Managers) can't contract out of obligations and can't assign responsibility to someone else. You need to ensure you are familiar with the risks in your operation and how to manage them effectively, and ensure your safety systems are appropriately resourced and operating they way they should be.

Training and Capability Building

Building capability in health and safety means empowering your team with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to actively contribute to a safer workplace. This involves delivering tailored training programs, inductions, and toolbox talks that build employees’ understanding of safety procedures, hazard identification, and risk controls. Effective capability building ensures everyone—from leadership to frontline workers—knows their roles and responsibilities in maintaining safety standards. It also includes mentoring and ongoing support to embed a strong safety culture, helping your workforce take ownership of safety practices. By investing in capability, your business can improve compliance, reduce incidents, and foster continuous safety improvement with confidence.

SMS Implementation

For many business owners, managing workplace health and safety can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re new to business or not even sure what a PCBU is. You’re not alone, and we’re here to make the process straightforward and stress-free.

At Northland Safety, we guide you step-by-step through setting up and maintaining an effective Safety Management System (SMS). We’ll make sure you understand what’s involved, know your legal obligations, and have the tools, templates, and support you need to keep your workplace safe.

Our team is here to take the confusion out of compliance, so you can run your business with confidence, knowing you’re meeting safety standards and protecting your people and visitors.

Don’t leave safety management in the “too hard” basket. Let’s work together to make it a priority — and a strength — for your business.

Hazard analysis and Risk Management

As a business owner, you understand that keeping your workers, visitors, and everyone else safe is your top priority. Central to every effective Safety Management System is strong risk management.

By partnering with Northland Safety, we’ll help you identify the unique risks facing your business and work alongside you to implement practical, effective controls. This proactive approach helps prevent harm to your workers, yourself, visitors, and anyone impacted by your operations.

We recognise that navigating the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 can feel overwhelming. That’s why we provide expert guidance and ongoing support to ensure your safety management system fully complies with all legal obligations under the Act.

Focusing on risk management means you can operate your business with confidence, knowing it is safe and secure, and your employees and visitors are properly protected

Risk assessments are based on the principals of the ISO3100, the international standard for risk management:

Integrated: Risk management should be an integral part of all organizational activities and decision-making processes.
Structured and Comprehensive: A systematic, organized approach ensures consistent and reliable results across the organization.
Customized: The risk management framework and processes should be tailored to the organization's external and internal context and objectives.
Inclusive: Involving stakeholders at appropriate times ensures their knowledge and views are considered, leading to better awareness and informed decisions.
Dynamic: Risk management continuously anticipates, detects, acknowledges, and responds to changes in the organization and its context.
Best Available Information: Decisions should be based on historical, current, and anticipated information, recognizing any limitations or uncertainties.
Human and Cultural Factors: The behaviours, culture, and capabilities within the organization significantly influence risk management effectiveness.
Continual Improvement: Risk management should be constantly improved through learning, experience, and adapting to changes
