FAQs
How does this tool identify workplace hazards?
Our tool uses a database aligned with Safe Work Australia guidelines to match hazards to your specific workplace type and tasks. For instance, if you’re in a warehouse handling machinery daily, it’ll flag risks like equipment malfunctions or inadequate guarding, then assign a risk level based on frequency and severity. It’s not just a generic list—it’s tailored to what you input, so you get relevant insights.
Is this tool suitable for all Australian workplaces?
Pretty much! We’ve designed it to cover a wide range of environments, from offices to construction sites and warehouses. The hazard database pulls from Australian safety standards, so whether you’re dealing with ergonomic issues at a desk or heavy machinery on a site, you’ll get relevant results. If your workplace is super niche, the tool still provides a solid starting point for a safety check.
What do I do with the hazard report?
The report is your roadmap to a safer workplace. It lists potential hazards, rates their risk (low, medium, high), and suggests basic fixes—like adding guardrails or improving signage. Share it with your team or safety officer to start discussions, prioritise actions, and make changes. It’s not a legal document, but it’s a practical way to kick off hazard management.
