Safety Management Systems & Upgrades – Tailored for Melbourne & Sydney Businesses
Looking for a robust safety management system tailored for your business?
A Safety Management System (SMS) is crucial for maintaining safety in the workplace and conforming to the local WHS laws (Sydney / Melbourne). At BWC Safety, we are interested in helping Melbourne and Sydney based businesses get to compliance, manage risks, and improve on safety performance with an effective safety management system.
What is an SMS?
An SMS is a structured concept in safety management that offers the essential framework, responsibilities, measures, and practises. It is employed so that it is possible to identify and control any potential operational risks that might cause an unsafe working environment.
Key Components:
1. Policy and commitment: The procedure of describing the company’s general safety and health policy.
2. Planning: The process of preconditions setting for safety objectives, the stages of hazard identification, and risk assessment.
3. Implementation and operation: The elements that are most relevant to defining the proper controls, as well as training and communication.
4. Measurement and evaluation: The safety activities involve; safety inspections, performance, and analysis of safety occurrences.
5. Review and improvement: This requires making changes to the structure of the SMS on a continuous basis depending on feedback given and/or observed outcomes.
Why implement a safety management system?
1. Regulatory compliance: Minimises legal penalties associated with compliance failures with local WHS laws.
2. Risk reduction: Encourages safe work environment thereby minimising workplace accidents.
3. Improved safety culture: Promotes the engagement of the whole organisation in safety issues through taking a step forward in safety.
4. Cost savings: Reduces cases and the associated costs eg; worker’s compensation and lost time.
Our approach to safety management systems:

Implementation support: We are here to provide you step by step guidance starting from the first evaluation of the project and ending with its complete integration.

Types of safety management systems:

Why upgrade to ISO 45001?
- Standards Australia has marked AS4801 as ‘Superseded’ and Obsolete’. As such, any organisation which previously had AS4801 should move to AS/NZ ISO 45001 if they do not require 4801 for legislative or contractual reasons.
- The benefit of adopting ISO 45001 is that it provides the framework that allows your organisation to meet its WHS Compliance obligations under the Workplace Health and Safety Act.
How it works
Analyse, compare, upgrade
If you don’t have a safety management system we can help you build one from scratch, however in most cases organisations have a system that needs upgrading. We will conduct a gap analysis of your existing system against the ISO 45001 standard and help you upgrade the system to ensure that your documentation complies.
We tailor a solution for your business
We provide a safety system that is practical and tailored to your business. This is NOT some off-the-shelf pretend system that is never used. Your new system will guide you in the steps to become compliant with the WHS legislation.
Don’t wait for an accident or a regulatory visit to take action. Invest in a safety management system today and see immediate benefits.
