Expert Guidance on Australian WHS Compliance

​

Apex Safety Audits assists organisations in meeting their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (and corresponding state/territory legislation) and relevant codes of practice. Our compliance services are designed to help you:

• Identify and systematically manage workplace hazards

• Implement and document appropriate control measures

• Provide suitable training and supervision

• Maintain current and accurate safety documentation

• Fulfil specific duties for high-risk construction work and other prescribed activities
