Our methodology
Risk decisions grounded in evidence — not guesswork
We develop and calibrate risk matrices to your operating context, so every hazard is rated consistently and every rating maps to a clear, defensible action.
- Likelihood and consequence criteria tailored to your organisation
- Clear escalation thresholds and accountabilities
- Control effectiveness evaluated — not assumed
- Treatment plans that stand up to regulator and board scrutiny
Select any cell to see how a rating translates into action. Illustrative example only.

FAQ
Common questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our consultants are happy to talk it through.
Ask a questionWhat does a typical engagement look like?
Every engagement follows four phases: we understand your organisation and context, assess it against Australian legislative standards, design and implement tailored solutions alongside your team, then embed the capability so improvements last. Scope is agreed up front so you know exactly what will be delivered.
Do you work with organisations outside our state?
Yes. RiskSAFE Australia delivers Australia-wide across industrial, commercial, government, events and community sectors, in every state and territory.
We already have a WHS system. Can you review it rather than replace it?
Absolutely. Many engagements start with an independent compliance audit or gap analysis of your existing system, with prioritised, practical recommendations — we build on what works rather than starting again.
How do you approach psychosocial risk?
Psychosocial hazards such as workload, bullying, poor leadership and lack of role clarity are recognised workplace risks under Australian WHS legislation. We identify, evaluate and prioritise these hazards, then help you design proportionate controls — including emerging risks from AI-driven tools and algorithmic management.
Can you support a single event or project?
Yes. We support one-off events and projects — from a single risk assessment or safety plan through to the full Integrated Risk & Event Management Suite and on-site delivery support.
Is the WHS Incident Hub included?
The WHS Incident Hub is available to clients as a digital tool for reporting, notifiable incident detection, checklists and corrective actions. We set up your private workspace, sites and team. You can try the free demo any time.
