You’ve invested time and resources into developing your OHS / WHS culture, but how do you measure it

Policies and procedures are your safety backbone.
Your WHS / OHS policies and procedures are more than just paperwork—they’re the foundation of your organisation’s safety culture. They guide your logistics, shape your operations, and set the standard for how your team, suppliers, and stakeholders manage risk and compliance.

At Beaspoke Safety, we work with you to make sure those documents aren’t just legally sound—they’re actually useful.
No copy-paste templates. No pointless padding. Just real, manageable frameworks that reflect how your business actually operates.

We help you:

Develop or refine OHS/WHS policies that align with your company’s values
Translate high-level commitments into clear, actionable procedures
Reinforce a proactive, practical focus on safety across your operations
Ensure your documentation holds up in practice—and under pressure

Good safety systems start with good foundations. Let’s make sure yours are built to last.

How do you know if your safety systems stack up?

Beaspoke Safety offers Gap Analysis to review your existing OHS/WHS systems and confirm whether you're on the right track—or highlight where things need tightening up.

Using our deep knowledge of safety legislation and best practice, we assess your current setup to quickly identify gaps, outdated content, or missing elements.

We review:

Policies, procedures, and work instructions
Training records and consultation evidence
Site observations and photographic evidence
Staff feedback and safety behaviours in practice

You’ll receive a clear, actionable report—complete with photos where relevant—outlining what needs urgent attention and what can be phased in over time.

Whether you’ve got policies in place and want a second opinion, or you're playing catch-up with current legislation, we’ll help you build a system that’s both compliant and practical.

Beaspoke Safety will assist you in identifying and preventing hazards

Is your back-of-house as safe as your bump-in?

You put everything into delivering a safe event onsite—but are your everyday operations just as covered?

Offices, warehouses, storage yards, and prep spaces are often forgotten when it comes to WHS compliance. But these are still workplaces—and the risks are real. Heavy lifting, electrical hazards, vehicle movements, poor storage systems… the list adds up fast.

Beaspoke Safety offers targeted workplace safety audits to help identify hazards at your base of operations and prevent them from turning into costly problems down the track. We understand the unique pace and pressures of the events industry, so our advice is always practical and tailored to how you actually work.

We’ll help you:

Assess your day-to-day work environment for hidden risks
Strengthen your OHS policies and procedures
Put the right controls in place to support your team, both on and off the event site

Because hazard prevention doesn’t stop at the venue—it starts wherever the work begins.

Risk management only works when its real

A tick-box risk assessment won’t protect your team—or your reputation. To truly manage risk, you need plans developed by competent people, with attainable, effective control measures that actually reflect your event environment.

Beaspoke Safety understands the legal and operational pressures you face. We know WHS legislation across Australia, and we cut through the noise to give you practical, common-sense advice that protects your staff, your contractors, your audience—and you.

The documentation we create with you is logical, methodical, and designed so you can understand it and own it.

To support your risk management planning, we offer:

Systems for identifying hazards and significant risks
Up-to-date, relevant information aligned with current WHS legislation
Support in interpreting third-party risk assessments and implementing appropriate controls
Risk assessment templates that competent persons can confidently complete
Development of Safe Systems of Work and Permits to Work
Emergency-specific risk assessments, including evacuation scenarios

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—we tailor everything to suit your event, your site, and your crew.

Developing a Contractor Management System

Beaspoke Safety has extensive knowledge of the safety legislation requirements throughout Australia

A site-specific risk assessment must be prepared before work is commenced

Contractor safety starts with knowing who you are dealing with

Every event relies on contractors—but not every contractor takes safety as seriously as you do. And when something goes wrong, it’s your event, your reputation, and your legal responsibility on the hook.

As the principal contractor, you have a WHS obligation to manage the health and safety risks of every third-party provider and their subcontractors. That’s where Beaspoke Safety steps in.

We don’t build fancy software—but we’ll work with you to set up a contractor compliance process that works for your event, your team, and your risk level.

Whether it’s a festival, expo, market, or community event, we’ll help you get the right systems in place to:

Identify which documents you need from each supplier (SWMS, insurances, licences, JSAs, etc.)
Develop simple tracking tools (checklists, registers, reminders) so nothing slips through the cracks
Understand your responsibilities under WHS legislation
Know when to push back, and when someone’s cutting corners
Choose contractors who are actually compliant, not just good talkers

We draw on years of experience managing contractors ourselves—so we know what’s reasonable, what’s overkill, and what works under pressure.

This isn’t about bureaucracy. It’s about protecting your event, your people, and your peace of mind. Because chasing paperwork after an incident is too late.

Site Speciific means just that - specific

Before any work starts, it’s a legal requirement under OHS/WHS law to complete a site-specific risk assessment—especially when high-risk work is involved.

That means no recycling last year’s paperwork. No generic templates. If there’s an incident, your SWMS or JSA is the first thing WorkSafe, an insurer, or a lawyer will ask to see. If it’s not tailored to the job at hand, you’re already on the back foot.

Beaspoke Safety works with you to:

Identify any high-risk work activities (e.g. working at height, electrical, confined space)
Guide your team through what needs to be included
Help develop or review Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) that meet legislative standards
Ensure existing Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) include all the required detail to satisfy WHS obligations

We don't just hand you a template—we support you to get it right, with the right people involved, and the right level of detail.

Note: A SWMS and JSA are similar, but a SWMS is required by law for high-risk construction work. You can continue using JSA formats if they meet all the criteria of a compliant SWMS.
