Practical support for compliance, safety and accountability
Protect your government workforce proactively while growing a safer, more resilient workplace.
Safety and compliance in government isn’t just about ticking a box. Whether it’s a local council depot, a public works team, or a state-run service provider — the public is watching, the regulators are watching, and the paperwork never stops.
At BWC Safety, we help government teams reduce risk, meet legislative obligations, and operate with transparency and accountability. Our advice is practical, tailored and always grounded in real-world application. We know the pressure that comes with working in the public sector — and we know how to make it easier.

The challenges of public sector safety
Government bodies often manage diverse workforces spread across multiple sites, with responsibilities ranging from administration to field operations. Add to that the pressure of public accountability, tight procurement rules, and changing legislation — and it’s no wonder many teams are overwhelmed.
We support councils, agencies, departments and public service units to:
- Build and maintain fit-for-purpose safety systems
- Manage contractors, consultants and service providers
- Reduce psychosocial and physical risks for workers
- Deliver better outcomes for the communities they serve
We make it easier to meet your obligations – with systems and strategies that reflect how the public sector really works.
