Manufacturing Health & Safety Software FAQs

What are the legal H&S duties in manufacturing?

In Australia, manufacturing health and safety duties are defined by the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act 2011 and related regulations. Employers are legally required to provide a safe working environment by identifying risks, controlling hazards, maintaining equipment, and providing training and supervision. Workers must take reasonable care for their safety and others’. Manufacturing businesses must keep up with industry-specific obligations, including machinery safety, hazardous substances, and noise control.

How does H&S software work for manufacturers?

Health and safety software helps manufacturers manage compliance and reduce risk by digitising and streamlining critical processes. It allows teams to report incidents and hazards on the go, automate workflows for corrective actions, schedule inspections, and track training and contractor compliance. The software creates a central hub for all safety data, making it easier to analyse trends, prepare for audits, and stay aligned with Australian laws. It also supports real-time communication between sites, improving engagement and response times across the organisation.

What advice is available for improving safety?

In Australia, manufacturers can access safety guidance from multiple sources, including Safe Work Australia, state regulators like WorkSafe Victoria or SafeWork NSW, and industry associations. These organisations provide resources such as safety codes of practice, industry-specific guidelines, and training programs. Internally, businesses are encouraged to conduct regular risk assessments, engage workers in safety planning, and invest in training. Implementing systems to capture and act on safety data, such as near-misses or fatigue reports, is also key to driving continuous improvement.

What is environmental safety in manufacturing?

Environmental safety in manufacturing refers to managing processes and risks that could harm the environment, while ensuring the health and safety of workers. This includes controlling emissions, safely handling and disposing of hazardous substances, minimising waste, and managing noise, dust, and wastewater. In Australia, environmental safety is regulated under both WHS laws and environmental protection legislation, such as the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Manufacturers must take a proactive approach to avoid environmental incidents and meet sustainability expectations.
