SAFE DESIGN REPORTS
Our easy electronic service means that you can submit your plans and accompanying documentation for a safe design evaluation with our expert team. The report will include a risk register detailing any identified hazards, your existing design controls, recommended consultation and any additional recommended controls to ensure that your design has eliminated or minimised these hazards. We will also detail any residual risks to be managed by the client, maintenance personnel, the principal contractor or the demolisher at end of life.

SAFE DESIGN WORKSHOPS
Safe design workshops are important, particularly for more complex projects as they can assist the designer in identifying hazards and consulting with other duty holders on ways to eliminate or minimise risks. Participants can include the designer, the client, engineers, consultants, principal contractor, maintenance manager, employer (or workers representative) at the workplace being designed and other consultants.
Safe Design Australia can facilitate workshops for your safe design projects. We have developed an effective process for workshops and have conducted workshops from small projects to skyscrapers. We can also facilitate workshops using the CHAIR Process. If you would like to run your own workshops we can provide you with the tools and training to do this in our Procedure, templates and training package.
INTERNAL WHS PROCEDURES AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
To assist you in meeting your requirements under the Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations, Safe Design Australia can also prepare an internal work health and safety procedure for your workplace. We also assist with your quality assurance. Contact us to find out more.
