Frequently asked questions
What does a WHS consultant do?
A WHS consultant helps a business identify safety and compliance gaps, improve its systems and documentation, manage risk and put practical processes in place. SSOS focuses specifically on construction businesses and high-risk work.
Does my construction business need a WHS management system?
That depends on your business, the work you perform, your legal duties and the requirements of the builders or clients you work for. SSOS can review what you currently have and help identify what is actually needed.
Can you review our existing SWMS?
Yes. SSOS can review existing SWMS for clarity, relevance to the work and alignment with your project requirements, then help update or rebuild them where required.
Can SSOS develop SWMS for high-risk construction work?
Yes. SSOS develops construction-specific SWMS based on the work being performed, the hazards involved and the controls that will be used on-site.
What is a FREE WHS System Review?
It is an initial review of your existing WHS system, SWMS or safety documentation to identify obvious gaps and areas for improvement. From there, we can explain the practical next steps and where SSOS may be able to help.
Can you help if a builder rejects our safety documentation?
Yes. We can review the feedback, assess the documentation and help address the issues identified. The exact response will depend on the builder requirements and the work being performed.
Do you provide ongoing WHS support?
Yes. SSOS can provide ongoing reviews, documentation updates, audits and practical WHS support for businesses that need regular help without employing a full-time WHS Manager.
Can you help with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001?
Yes. SSOS develops and supports practical management systems aligned with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, including integrated management systems and certification preparation.
Can you digitise our WHS paperwork?
Yes. Depending on your business, SSOS can build digital processes for inductions, inspections, registers, onboarding, reporting and other recurring WHS tasks using platforms such as SafetyCulture, Microsoft Forms and SharePoint.
Do you conduct site inspections and WHS audits?
Yes. SSOS provides practical construction site inspections and WHS audits to identify issues, document findings and support corrective actions.
Who does SSOS work with?
SSOS works with construction businesses including builders, subcontractors, crane and lifting companies, civil contractors, landscaping contractors, roofing businesses and other high-risk trades.
How much does WHS consulting cost?
The cost depends on the scope and complexity of the work. One-off documentation, system development and ongoing support are priced according to what your business actually needs. Contact SSOS to discuss the scope and receive a clear proposal.
