WHS Solutions for the Construction Industry
Site safety plans, subcontractor WHS management, and principal contractor compliance — built for Australia's construction sector from civil to high-rise.
WHS expertise built for Construction.
Construction is one of Australia's highest-risk industries for workplace fatalities and serious injuries. Omnisafe supports principal contractors, tier 2 builders, and civil contractors with WHS management systems, safe work method statements (SWMS), subcontractor management, and site-based safety personnel. Our team understands the obligations under the WHS Act and Regulations, and the specific requirements of principal contractors managing complex multi-trade worksites.
High workforce turnover and subcontractor complexity
WHS Solutions for the Construction Industry
Key hazards in Construction.
Understanding the specific hazards in your industry is the foundation of effective WHS management. These are the risks Omnisafe is built to help you control.
Falls from Height
The leading cause of fatality in construction — from scaffolding, leading edges, rooftops, and elevated work platforms.
Electrical Hazards
Electrocution risk from temporary site power, contact with live conductors, and underground/overhead utilities.
Crane & Rigging Failures
Structural collapse, dropped loads, and crane tip-over during lift operations on constrained urban sites.
Excavation & Trench Collapse
Cave-in and engulfment risk in excavations, trenches, and confined spaces without adequate shoring.
Subcontractor Management
Difficulty maintaining WHS standards across multiple subcontractors and trades with varying safety cultures and capability.
Pedestrian & Public Interaction
Risk to members of the public and workers in interface zones on urban and infrastructure construction sites.

Apex Build Group — Hunter Valley Infrastructure
A Tier 2 civil contractor engaged Omnisafe to manage WHS across a $45M infrastructure upgrade involving 12 subcontractors. Omnisafe developed the project WHS Management Plan, pre-qualified all subcontractors, deployed a full-time Site Safety Officer, and implemented the Omnisafe Platform for digital incident and inspection management.
