Work related death and injury costs the Australian economy billions of dollars each year.
Serious injuries and work related diseases are on the increase in Australia with over 600,000 persons hurt or becoming ill at work every year - resulting in loss of productivity, high levels of sick leave, and potentially low employee morale.
Workplace accidents or illnesses kill more than 6,000 Australians at work every year. That's more than the national road toll.
Government is cracking down on unsafe workplaces, conducting spot audits on sites and fining companies who aren't complying with safe work practices.
It is in the interest of each and every business to have the highest possible standards of workplace safety for employees.
That's why it's vitally important for you to take workplace health and safety seriously.

By using WHSMS as your workplace health and safety system you have better control over OHS matters:
You have real-time access to data on incidents - including photos, videos, documents and audio files. This also enables you to complete risk assessments and better implement risk management strategies in your business.
You are able to access the system from any web enabled device, meaning that incidents can be quickly and effectively managed - and you can show anyone who asks how you are handling any incidents that do occur.
You can delegate tasks to employees to follow up or investigate, and can quickly see the status of the tasks to know when they are completed.
Access current WHS legislation
WHSMS makes sure you have easy access to up-to-date and relevant legislation. We update the system with any new workplace health and safety standards, regulations or legislation that you have to comply with, in a variety of industries.
Training to keep your employees qualified
