SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
DRA Safety Specialists have developed a Safety Management
System (SMS) called Safety Direct TM,
designed for use by business-
es , councils and schools. The intention of this SMS is to develop
systems that will help your company comply with the statutory re-
quirements of the Work Health and Safety Legislation and is compli-
ant to AS 4801.
This product is membership based and provides a vehicle to share
documents in order to achieve best practice in terms of safety thus
reducing injuries.
SAFETY AUDITING
DRA Safety consultants are Internationally recognised Exemplar
Global OHS Management Systems auditors . We are also licenced to
perform Self Insurance Audits and Pre Qualification – Construction
Audits (PQC). We believe that the purpose of safety auditing is not
to find out “who is doing what” incorrectly so they can be punished,
but rather to identify work procedures that could be changed to as-
sist in creating a healthier and safer work environment for all em-
ployees and the public.
The types of audits which can be conducted are as follows:
Self Insurance Audits for QLD Self Insurers
Pre-Qualification Audits- Construction (PQC)
Management System Audits using the National Audit Tool,
TriSafe or AS/NZS 4801
Specialist audits for Confined Spaces, Work at Heights, Hazardous,
Amusement devices, Chemicals and other workplace hazards.
SAFETY CONSULTANCY
DRA Safety Consultants can assist companies in implementing their
SMS by providing a regular consulting service. This service consists
of a site visit to identify the major areas of non-compliance, consul-
tation and training of staff, and development of a report with recom-
mendations and a Corrective Action Plan detailing actions to be
completed, by whom and by when. This systematic approach drives
companies to achieve their goals of zero serious injuries.
Specialist services can also be provided as one off consultancies.
Specialist services include hygiene services, noise, lighting and EMF
measurement., ergonomic assessments, safeguarding surveys, fire
evacuation plan development and expert witness reports. If you have
a safety concern, then we can assist you or recommend you to rec-
ognised specialists.
