Why it matters

An inspector doesn't ask if you're safe. They ask for the file.

Most businesses only find out how exposed they are when a Department of Employment and Labour inspector arrives, or when someone gets hurt. By then the question is not whether you cared, but whether you can prove it.

JHG builds the system, keeps it current and stands beside you when it's tested, so your business is audit-ready, defensible and protected.
  • Audit-ready. Every appointment, assessment and register is in the file, dated and signed, before anyone asks.
  • Defensible. If there's an incident, the investigation and the reporting are handled by people who've done it before, and the record shows the steps you took.
  • Protected. Health and safety sits alongside your HR, labour and payroll at JHG, so a safety issue that becomes a disciplinary one stays with one team.
Inspection readiness check

Could you pass an inspection tomorrow morning?

Eight things an inspector will ask for. Answer honestly and the gauge will tell you where you stand. Your gaps go straight into the assessment request.

  1. A signed health and safety policy, displayed where staff can see it Section 7 of the OHS Act for employers with 20 or more staff
  2. A Section 16(2) appointee, designated in writing The person legally responsible for safety on site
  3. A hazard identification and risk assessment done in the last 12 months Documented, with controls assigned to someone
  4. An up-to-date safety file Appointments, assessments, registers, certificates, in one place
  5. Trained first aiders and a stocked first-aid box Certificates current, box checked and signed
  6. Elected health and safety representatives, and a committee if you need one Reps from 20 employees, a committee from two or more reps
  7. An incident register and a procedure for reporting and investigating Including which incidents must be reported to the Department
  8. An emergency evacuation plan and serviced fire equipment Drill done, extinguishers in date, exits clear

    Your H&S package includes

    Eight services. One audit-ready system.

    Each one answers a question an inspector, an insurer or a court will eventually ask. Together they make your business audit-ready, defensible and protected.

    Tailored OHS management system

    A legally compliant system built around your site, your risks and your headcount, not a generic template.

    Answers: "Show me your system."

    On-site inspections & compliance audits

    We walk the floor, find what an inspector would find, and fix it before they do.

    Answers: "When were you last checked?"

    Risk assessments (HIRA)

    Hazard identification and risk assessment, documented, with controls assigned and reviewed on cycle.

    Answers: "Where's your risk assessment?"

    Safety file compilation

    Every appointment, certificate, register and assessment in one current, indexed file.

    Answers: "Can I see the file?"

    Legal appointments

    Section 16(2), supervisors, reps, first aiders, fire wardens, all appointed in writing and trained for the role.

    Answers: "Who is responsible?"

    Training & awareness

    Induction, toolbox talks and role-specific training so the system works on the floor, not just on paper.

    Answers: "Do your people know?"

    Incident investigation & reporting

    When something happens, we investigate, record and report it correctly, including what must go to the Department.

    Answers: "What happened, and what did you do?"

    Legal updates & readiness reviews
