Occupational health & safety consultant support

OHS consultant support that scales to your workplace risk.

Practical occupational health and safety advisory support for businesses that need stronger systems, clearer documentation and a structured way to identify and close OHS gaps.

Find the gaps before an incident or inspection

Turn OHS compliance into a working management system.

An OHS consultant should do more than hand over policies. The useful question is whether the workplace can show how hazards are identified, risks are controlled, people know their responsibilities, inspections happen, incidents are followed up and outstanding actions are closed.

AXIOM provides practical OHS consulting for offices, small and medium businesses, workshops, warehouses, service operations and multi-site employers. We scale the level of documentation and governance to the actual workplace instead of forcing every client into the same safety system.

OHS consultant support can include

  • OHS compliance and gap audits.
  • Workplace hazard identification and risk assessment support.
  • Safety files and OHS document systems.
  • Policies, registers and appointment documentation.
  • Inspection programmes and evidence tracking.
  • Incident reporting and investigation systems.
  • Contractor-control processes and documentation.
  • Corrective-action registers and management follow-up.
  • OHS awareness, manager guidance and practical implementation support.

When specialist OHS services are required

Certain occupational hygiene measurements, medical surveillance, engineering, construction professional appointments and other statutory functions may need to be performed by a specifically approved, competent or registered person. AXIOM does not blur those boundaries. We can help identify the gap and coordinate the management process, while the required specialist performs the regulated function.

Frequently asked questions

Questions businesses ask when looking for an OHS consultant.

The applicable OHS requirements depend on the workplace, activities and regulations involved.

What can an OHS consultant help a small business with?

An OHS consultant can help identify hazards and compliance gaps, structure risk assessments, create practical OHS documents and registers, establish inspection and incident systems, and track corrective actions appropriate to the workplace.

Can AXIOM conduct an OHS compliance audit?

Yes. AXIOM can conduct advisory OHS compliance and gap audits to identify weaknesses and recommend corrective actions. These are not represented as Department of Employment and Labour inspections or statutory compliance certificates.

Can AXIOM prepare safety files?

Yes. AXIOM can compile and organise safety files and OHS documentation appropriate to the work and client requirements, while identifying where specialist or registered inputs are required.

Can you support multiple sites?

Yes. A common OHS framework can be developed across sites while retaining site-specific risk assessments, inspections, corrective actions and local responsibilities.

Do you perform occupational hygiene surveys or medical surveillance?

AXIOM does not represent itself as an approved inspection authority or occupational medicine service. Where a regulated specialist service is required, the correct approved or competent provider must perform it.
