John Packham - Chartered Accountant
We had growing concerns about our health and safety compliance, unsure if our existing policies and procedures were truly effective in managing risks. The Safety Lab stepped in with a thorough review of our Health and Safety Manual, identifying critical gaps, outdated procedures, and areas where our risk controls needed strengthening.

Their approach was not just about compliance but about creating a system that worked for our business and people. They provided us with a significantly updated manual that is clear, practical, and aligned with current health and safety regulations. Beyond documentation, they offered expert advice on how to apply these updates in our daily operations, ensuring that our team understands their responsibilities and that our safety culture is stronger than ever.

With The Safety Lab’s guidance, we now have a proactive approach to risk management, with clear procedures that are easy to follow. Our confidence in our compliance has grown, and we feel reassured knowing that our workplace is safer for everyone.

Chris O’Brien - Health and Safety Manager
We engaged The Safety Lab to help us refine our critical risk management process for confined spaces, ensuring that our classification and declassification procedures were clear, compliant, and practical for our operations. Their expertise provided us with a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and managing the risks associated with confined space work, giving our team the confidence to apply best practices in the field.

Anna was an absolute pleasure to work with—her deep knowledge, practical insights, and approachable nature made the process seamless. She took the time to understand our specific needs, ensuring that the solutions provided were tailored to our work environment. The clarity and effectiveness of the revised process have made a noticeable impact, and we now have a more robust system in place to manage these high-risk tasks.

Given the value The Safety Lab has brought to our confined space management, I can see us reaching out again for further support as we continue strengthening our health and safety framework.

Rachel Russell - Director Health, Safety and Wellbeing - Swinburne University of Technology
The Safety Lab played a pivotal role in uplifting safety across our university by leading a comprehensive program to enhance our risk management processes. Dave efficiently project-managed risk assessments across the university, ensuring the development of robust risk registers that have significantly strengthened our approach to risk management.

What set Dave apart was his ability to make the process seamless for our team. He provided invaluable coaching, managed the project end-to-end, and handled all administrative requirements. Despite being based in New Zealand, his remote support and service were exceptional—demonstrating a high level of responsiveness and commitment.

His expertise, professionalism, and collaborative approach made a real difference, and we are grateful for his contribution to improving safety at our university.

You’re responsible for compliance.

We make it clear, practical and achievable.

When time, internal capacity or technical expertise is stretched, it’s easy to fall back on outdated systems and assumptions. We help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters: your legal duties, your critical risks and your next steps.
