Risk Assessment
Apex Site Safety Audits collaborates closely with your project team to facilitate comprehensive Project Risk Assessments and Design Risk Assessments (also known as Design Risk Reviews or Designer Risk Assessments). These structured processes are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld) and the model Work Health and Safety Regulations, particularly the duties of designers under Regulation 295 to eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable during the design phase of construction projects

Our experienced safety professionals work directly with your designers, engineers, architects, principal contractors, and relevant stakeholders to:
-
Systematically identify hazards and risks associated with the project’s construction methods, materials, plant, equipment, and ongoing use/maintenance of the structure.
-
Evaluate risks at both the project level (encompassing overall site activities, sequencing, and coordination) and the design level (focusing on inherent design features that may introduce risks during construction, operation, or demolition).
-
Apply the hierarchy of control measures to develop and document effective risk controls, including elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative measures, and personal protective equipment where necessary.
-
Produce clear, actionable documentation — such as risk registers, design risk assessment reports, and updated Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) — that demonstrate compliance with legislative obligations and support due diligence.
-
Ensure alignment with relevant Codes of Practice (e.g., Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces, Managing Risks of Plant in the Workplace) and industry best practices for high-risk construction work.
This collaborative approach ensures that safety considerations are integrated early into the project lifecycle, reducing the potential for costly redesigns, incidents, or regulatory non-compliance. By engaging Apex Site Safety Audits to facilitate these assessments, your organisation benefits from independent expertise, objective analysis, and practical recommendations that enhance safety outcomes while maintaining project efficiency.
